Rosalie's family has been close with Geno since before she was born. After heavy convincing, coach Geno got Rosalie to transfer to Uconn with a position on the staff.
Paige becomes aware of the new staff member and can't seem to keep her eyes and heart away.
With many ups and downs, a nickname, and many lollipops, join me for the ride of Paige and her sunshine.

The airs crisp as I make my way through the parking lot. I can see my breath puff in front of me as I walk. My body's rigid and stiff with each step, having spent hours in the gym last night, thoughts racing through my head.
As much as my team doesn't want me to think it's my fault, I know it is. I should've done better. Should've pushed harder. It's my fault we lost. My fault I missed the last shot.
Pulling open the doors I let the warmth surround my body. Closing my eyes as I let out the breath I hadn't realized I was holding.
The sound of basketballs hitting the ground in the gymnasium just a few steps away fills my ears, the comforting sound easing my mind.
Pushing open the double doors my shoes squeak against the wooden floor, the doors close behind me and the basketballs, laughter and chatter come to a halt. The eyes of the team are on me as I walk across the court.
And that's when I hear it.
The most amazing laughter I've ever heard fills my head, my thoughts.
And my eyes find her.
Her long brown hair shines in the light of the gym. Her smile brightens up everything around her.
My gosh, she's beautiful.
