The Girl In Green

Ellie Carpenter's cousin, Mila, was Ellies bridesmaid as she had always promised as a kid. She expected a long night of polite smiles, small talk with strangers, and dodging anyone who tried to get too close. Weddings weren't her thing - people weren't her thing.

Then Leah Williamson walked in.

Following a group of footballers invited to celebrate Ellie and Daniëlle Van De Donk's big day, Leah stepped into the venue with zero expectations... until her eyes landed on the girl in green. She didn't know her name, didn't know her story - but something about her pulled Leah in instantly.

And she couldn't look away.

All night, Leah's gaze kept drifting back to Mila. And Mila noticed. Of course she noticed. She always noticed when someone watched her - but this time, she didn't shut it down. Instead, she tested her. A held stare. A raised brow. A smirk that dared Leah to try harder.

If Leah wanted her attention, she'd have to earn it.

What neither of them expected was how quickly the spark would catch... or how impossible it would be to ignore. Between stolen glances, quiet challenges, and the kind of tension that made the room feel smaller, Mila found herself letting someone in for the first time in a long time.

And Leah?
She was determined to figure out the mystery girl in green - no matter how many walls she had to climb.
