back to you- sabrina ionescu

morgan never planned on working for the new york liberty. she definitely never planned on standing a few feet away from the girl who broke her heart four years ago.

back in high school, morgan and sabrina lived in the in between quiet conversations after practice, stolen glances in crowded hallways, and a love they kept hidden from everyone else. they promised each other a future, promised oregon, promised they'd leave together. then senior year ended, and sabrina walked away first.

years later, morgan has rebuilt her life. she's out, confident, and working in sports media, covering the very team holding the top pick in the wnba draft. when sabrina's name is called on draft night, it feels like the past crashing straight into the present.

sabrina has changed too or at least that's what morgan tells herself. she's the league's newest star, polished and public, with a life that looks nothing like the one they once dreamed up in secret. trying to coexist as professionals turns out to be harder than either of them expect, especially with old hurt lingering just beneath the surface.

as practices blur into late nights, media days, and shared laughter, the distance between them starts to shrink. familiar touches return without permission. old feelings resurface without warning. and the lines they swore they wouldn't cross begin to fade.

caught between who they were, who they are, and who they might still become, morgan and sabrina must face the truth they've both been avoiding. some loves don't disappear... they wait.
