When The Trust Breaks – Part 2

Rico has had a rough life. Shunned by her parents for not following in her father’s footsteps by joining the Air Force, she chooses the Army instead. During basic training, she meets her bestie, James Gregory, who becomes like a brother from another mother. However, during a routine ride in Afghanistan, a roadside IED takes him from her. She loses her shyt. She then finds her way back home with her DD-214 and a diagnosis that has her seeking therapy to hopefully get better and to rid herself of the nightmares of losing James. Her therapist tells her to get out of the house and around people, so she compromises by going out to see animals, because, well, there are still actual people there, but she doesn’t have to interact with them—though she’s with them. She finds a little monster that catches her eye, but, unbeknownst to her, she's also caught the eye of someone else in the store.

A runaway pet catches her attention, and she rescues it for its owner, who, unknown to her, turns out to be the star power forward for the Charlotte Reign. The WNBA team in Charlotte drafted the star, Tasha Bell, in the first round two seasons earlier, but Rico has no idea who she is when she returns the dog. Keeping her guard up, she ignores Tasha's flirtatious ways. Tasha sneaks her number, then keeps texting her and asking to hang out. She invites her to a game, without telling her that she is a player for the team, only that “basketball” is her job. Rico is shocked to learn Tasha is a player, and things take a different turn.

Will they end up together and find love with the runaway, or will Rico keep her at arm's length and keep complaining through therapy?
