Sonia Citron was never supposed to need anyone, until an injury sidelines her and forces her into the care of Claire Sullivan, the too-blunt, too-bright student trainer assigned to her recovery. Claire talks too much. Sonia barely talks at all. But somewhere between taped ankles and quiet glances, something starts to shift. She was just supposed to help her heal. She didn't mean to fall for the girl who barely says a word.

CONTINUATION: REWRITING When Julie Romano, one of UConns best players, suffers a career-threatening injury just at the start of the season, her world crumbles. The future once bright with promise was now hanging on by a piece of thread. Julie slowly finds herself spiraling, turning to not so healthy things to numb the loss of basically her whole life. As Julie withdraws, isolating herself from friends and family, her path unexpectedly collides with Nika's, her long-time rival on and off the court. Circumstances force the two athletes to share an apartment- a living arrangement neither of them wants. But as they reluctantly navigate this new reality, the tension between them begins to shift. Can two enemies find common ground when everything else has fallen apart? And when the walls come down, will they see each other-and themselves-in a new light? #3 in #slam: 3/5/24 Started: 2/05/24
