By college, he’d become one of the university’s most admired players, known for leading by example rather than chasing attention. His longest relationship ended when he discovered his girlfriend had been seeing Kyle behind his back. Kyle genuinely didn’t know she was already dating Jack, but by the time the truth came out, the damage had already been done.

She mistakes his warmth for something more, believing he’s everything she wants in a partner.
