"Okay, so there's been a switch up. You, Taylor, will be our new setter." Taylor had always been a middle blocker, and she felt a surge of… anticipation. The setter on the team, Ben, was known for his incredible sets.

She found herself staring at him and saw he was smiling, a small, subtle curve to his lips. Her breath hitched. She found herself trying to imagine being closer to him.

She visualized herself on the court, focusing on every set, every movement, trying to make him proud. The very idea of being in the same space as him, sharing the same drive, sent a wave of… something through her.
