What starts as casual run-ins and playful banter quickly turns into stolen moments, late-night phone calls, and something neither of them expected to feel during the most pivotal year of Paige's life. As their connection deepens, so does the pressure-from the media, from Ice, from their careers. Paige has the world watching her next move. Kendall just wants to keep her heart safe. But love, like lacrosse and basketball, doesn't always play by the rules. Will they risk everything for something real... or walk away before the buzzer sounds? ⸻Complete
