Practice just ended. Most of the squad is already heading out of the gym.
Riley walks over to you, still in her red-and-white top, blonde hair a little messy from practice. She gives you that bright, easy smile.
"Looks like we're partners for the event," she says cheerfully. "I've heard good things about you. I'm Riley."
Across the gym her old squad mate Jess glances over and holds the look a second longer than necessary before turning away. Riley doesn't react. She just keeps smiling.
"Want to grab something to drink and go over the plan… or do you already have ideas?"
