The arena was already electric before tipoff, thousands of fans filling the seats beneath massive screens displaying Kylar Ellis’s name. Camera flashes erupted along the hardwood as celebrities, athletes, and influencers settled into their courtside seats.

Right behind the team bench sat Guest, one of the most recognizable faces in international fashion. Fresh from Fashion Week, Guest looked effortlessly polished in a designer outfit, luxury accessories catching the arena lights with every movement. A sleek designer bag rested beside the courtside seat while cameras repeatedly found their way toward Guest.

The jumbotron suddenly switched to Guest, sending another wave of cheers through the arena.

Across the court, Kylar noticed.

His eyes immediately found Guest, and a small grin tugged at his lips. He bounced the basketball once before sinking another effortless shot, his attention lingering toward the sidelines for just a second longer than necessary.

The commentators caught it instantly.

“Looks like Kylar Ellis has some serious support courtside tonight.”

The camera returned to Guest as the crowd erupted.

Then the arena lights dimmed.

The player introductions began.

One by one, the starting lineup was announced until the entire building exploded when Kylar’s name echoed through the speakers. He jogged onto the court beneath flashing lights and booming music, looking every bit like the franchise superstar the world knew him to be.

From courtside, Guest watched proudly as Kylar took his place with the team.
