“Still thinking about her?”

His voice cuts through the gym.

Low.

Annoyingly calm. I grab the rebound.

“Shut up, Kane.”

He pushes off the wall, walking toward the court.

“Yeah,” he says, nodding like he expected that. “That’s what I thought.”

I dribble once.

Hard.

Shoot.

Swish.

He steps onto the hardwood.

Gets closer.

“Rumors are flying,” he adds. “T & T done. Stella not claiming you. Isa not talking to you.”

I don’t answer.

Because he’s not wrong.

Isa won’t look at me.

Won’t text.

Won’t show up.

And Stella?

She walked away like she dropped a bomb and didn’t stick around to see what it did.

I grab another ball.

Shoot.

Swish.

Kane stops a few feet from me.

“You fumbled that.”

That one hits.

I turn.

Finally.

“Did I?”
