   Summary

   Alessia has learned to crochet to quiet her mind. Leah notices... and can't help noticing after that. Somewhere between training sessions, hotel hallways, and the pressure of a knockout tournament, Leah finds something that she has been fighting to push down for a long time and what starts as a shared silence grows to soft touches and and a growing inability to stay away.
