This season is my final shot. Last year, I cost the Titans everything—the championship, my pride—but not again. This time, victory is non-negotiable. If I don’t lead the team to glory, my dreams of being drafted will vanish. Three years of blood, sweat, and sacrifices hang in the balance.
But then Cameron Martinez returns—former teammate, ex-love, and current nemesis. His intense gaze and infuriating swagger are my kryptonite. Every encounter with him—whether in the locker room or under the harsh arena lights—shakes my focus. Worse, his presence awakens feelings I thought I buried.
I can’t afford this distraction, yet I can’t resist him. If I can’t find a way to separate desire from ambition, I might lose the Titans, my future, and maybe even myself. Is any victory worth that cost?
