Tashi Duncan was impossible. No, seriously. You knew tennis was her life, but when she got on the court, she completely changed.

Off court, you hung out, exchanged laughs, got a coffee sometimes; but it was something about that damn sport. She was tennis. Truly and entirely, to her bones.

And here you stood, on the other side of the net, and she looked like she could eat you alive. Only a few minutes ago she'd hugged you like she'd never let go.
