It wasn't because they never saw each other. They did, more often than either of them cared to admit.
They liked the same coffee shops, went to the same restaurants, and somehow always ended up at the same events around the city. Every now and then, Juju would glance up and catch Asani across the room. Sometimes Asani noticed too, their eyes meeting for a split second before one of them looked away. Neither one ever made the first move. It had become an unspoken routine. See each other. Pretend they didn't.
Life had kept moving, whether they wanted it to or not.
Juju had seen Asani back on campus a few months ago, juggling classes again after taking time away from school. She looked older, more put together, carrying herself with the quiet confidence that only came from surviving things people never knew about.

After hours
In the middle of a chaotic season with the Chicago Sky, Rickea Jackson is finally starting to feel settled in Chicago. Between intense practices, nonstop media obligations, and her teammates constantly dragging her into some kind of foolishness, she's learning how to breathe again. So when Dijonai Carrington insists the team try a brand-new upscale restaurant tucked away in the city, nobody expects the night to become anything more than good food and louder-than-necessary conversations. While everyone else is distracted by the food and conversation, Rickea can't stop paying attention to the little things - the way Autumn remembers every employee's name as she passes, the way she speaks with intention, the slight softness in her eyes when she looks at Rickea a second too long. Chicago was supposed to just be basketball. Instead, it might become the place Rickea finally finds something real.Complete

Still Us
After ending their engagement two years ago, Dijonai Carrington and Jai swore they'd never become one of those toxic ex-couples constantly breaking up and getting back together. Instead, they built something better - a peaceful co-parenting routine centered around their five-year-old twins, Jream and Jace. Between Dijonai's demanding life with the Chicago Sky and Jai's long shifts as a firefighter, they somehow make it work better apart than most couples do together. At least that's what they keep telling themselves. But no matter how hard they try to move on, every relationship they attempt falls apart the second the other person notices the undeniable pull between them. It's in the way Jai still shows up to every home game with the twins in matching jerseys. The way Dijonai still calls Jai first after every tough loss. The lingering touches. The inside jokes. The family dinners that feel a little too normal. Everyone around them sees it - their teammates, Jai's firehouse crew, even their twins who constantly ask when Mommy and Mama are going to live together again. As old feelings slowly begin taking root again, Dijonai and Jai are forced to confront the question they've spent years avoiding: did they really fall out of love... or were they just afraid of how much they still wanted each other?Complete
