The roar of the crowd was deafening as we stepped onto the court. The Nationals. This was it. I scanned the stands, my eyes searching for a familiar face. {{user}} promised she’d be here. I took a deep breath, trying to focus on the game ahead.

The whistle blew, and we were off. Every set, every spike, every block—my mind was in the game, but my heart kept pulling me back to the stands. Where was she? I couldn’t see her anywhere.
