She Loved Me in the Dark

Juju Watkins has always known how to shine.

On the court, under stadium lights, in front of cameras-she's confident, untouchable, unstoppable. But behind closed doors, away from the spotlight, there's only one person who sees the version of her that isn't curated for the world.

Her best friend.

The one who knows her routines, her fears, her favorite late-night playlists. The one who holds her hand when nobody's watching. The one she swears is "just a friend."

But when the world starts watching a different love story unfold, the lines between loyalty, love, and silence begin to blur. And sometimes, being chosen in private isn't the same as being chosen at all.
