68 parti In corso rory has everything-money, beauty, brains, and talent.
at just fourteen, she's already a rising star at arsenal's u17 academy, with dreams of playing for the first team and the lionesses. she's the kind of girl who shines on and off the pitch, always smiling, always pushing forward.
but behind the perfect image is a girl who's had to raise herself. the daughter of a top ceo and a fashion designer, rory has never known what it's like to be truly seen by her parents.
they provide everything-except love. their absence, their coldness, their indifference-it's all she's ever known.
so rory has learned to be her own light. she pours everything into football, into school, into becoming something worth noticing.
and then, one evening after training, jonas eidevall, arsenal's first-team manager, tells her he wants her to train with the senior squad.
just like that, her dream inches closer to reality.
but as rory steps into a world where talent is only half the battle, where pressure builds and expectations rise, she must navigate more than just the game.
because being a star on the pitch is easy.
but learning to let people in? learning that she is enough, even without proving herself?
that might be the hardest thing she's ever had to do.
