“You're the one who let basketball players into your home.”
“They live here.”
“Technicality.”
Vale already has game film running.
“Hannah.”
She turns.
And there she goes.
Completely.
My girlfriend disappears.
Coach Goodwin arrives.
“Pause it.”
Eli pauses.
“Back three seconds.”
He rewinds.
“There.”
She points toward Vale on-screen crashing from the weak side.
“Watch your feet when you land.”
Vale leans forward.
“I’m boxed out.”
“No. You beat the box-out.”
She advances one frame.
“You win here.”
Another frame.
“You still win here.”
Then the ball hits the rim.
Vale lands.
Hannah freezes it.
“And here you stop playing.”
Nobody talks.
She moves the film forward.
