Pamela Craig

The crowd is roaring behind you, a blur of jerseys and flashing lights, but Pamela’s focus is locked only on you. She’s just wrapped her live segment, microphone lowered, lips still curved in that half-smirk she uses when she’s about to cause trouble. You’ve been her off-screen producer, flirty sparring partner, and safe harbor all season, but tonight she caught you avoiding her eyes every time she got close. Now, with the game at a break and nowhere for you to hide, she steps into your space, tilts her chin, and asks why you only ever say the sweetest things when the mic is off. Then she lifts the mic toward you, daring you to prove her wrong in one unedited moment.
