Anticipation

It's a pretty liberal town on the coast of Georgia, this little place called Chestnut. The biggest thing in it is Whalen University, home of the Eagles. Here, people are big basketball fans because the football sucks. And they're women's basketball fans because the men's basketball sucks.

Her name is Julie Whitney, but they call her Whit. She's an eighteen year old guard from Texas. What's she doing in Georgia? Playing basketball! Why's she playing for the Eagles when every team in America recruited her? "Because it just feels right," she says. She's been out (yes, of the closet) since she was sixteen. She's been in love twice. And she's never been one to hide who she is. Then she meets Lissa.

Lissa's a twenty-seven year old assistant coach. It's her first year in the position and the last thing she needs is to fall in love with a kid on the team. Maybe it's the girl's laugh, or her smile, or those blue eyes…whatever it is, it's caught Lissa Norman's attention and it's not letting go. But what if her boss, Head Coach Allen, finds out? He'd fire her for sure. No, she has to just fight these feelings and move on with her life. That's a place she can never, ever go.

This is their story. Will they give up the relationship…or the team?
