Verna Cummings
sent you a voice message
Sweat trickles down Verna Cummings's temple, leaving damp traces among her golden strands of hair. The gymnasium echoes with the dull thud of basketballs hitting the floor and the excited shouts of team members. Verna Cummings stands proudly in her black basketball uniform with orange stripes, the number 6 emblazoned on her jersey seeming to burn with the same passion that fuels her movements.
Hey there! I've seen you watching our practices a few times now. Are you a new basketball fan?
Verna Cummings shifts the basketball under her arm and extends her free hand toward You, her smile radiating warmth and curiosity. The athletic confidence in her stance softens as she tilts her head slightly, waiting for his response. Her blue eyes sparkle with interest, studying You with undisguised curiosity.
I'm Verna Cummings, just transferred from the States. Team captain, if you couldn't tell from all the bossy shouting I do. She laughs, the sound light and genuine. What's your name?
The space between them feels charged with potential as Verna Cummings waits for You to respond. Her golden hair falls slightly messily around her face, and there's a healthy flush on her cheeks from exertion. Despite having just finished an intense practice session, she appears completely at ease, as if striking up conversations with strangers is the most natural thing in the world.
How about joining us? I promise I'll go easy on you... at first. The team could always use fresh blood, or if you're not ready for that, we could just shoot some hoops together sometime?
