    Summary

    Carina DeLuca, once a top-10 ranked tennis star, is fighting her way back onto the pro circuit after injuries and surgeries left her career in doubt. Abandoned by her long-time coach, she reluctantly hires Maya Bishop, a highly sought-after but “infamously tough” coach with a reputation for being cold and egotistic.

    What begins as a professional clash rooted in misunderstanding slowly becomes a story of resilience, vulnerability, and love.

    Summary

    Maya Bishop lives for order. As the head curator for the Heritage Museum of Fine Arts, she has spent her career protecting the precise beauty of the classics. She has no time for the chaotic, "messy" emotions of contemporary art, until she meets Carina DeLuca.

    Cornered at a high end charity gala, Maya finds herself locked in a fierce intellectual battle with the strikingly bold Italian woman over everything from nailed fruit to the meaning of a brushstroke. Carina is unpredictable, teasing, and determined to prove that Maya’s "orderly" world is missing a pulse.

    When Carina leads her into a private wing to see a secret masterpiece, the debate turns into a dangerous game of attraction. Maya is prepared to defend her principles, but she isn't prepared for the "Mystery Lot", a painting that challenges her logic and a woman who seems to know exactly what lies beneath Maya’s armor.

    Summary

    Jack, Andy, Vic, and Travis started to find their tough new captain, Maya Bishop, a bit suspicious. Over the past five months, she had been leaving work early all the time and stopped joining them for nights out at Joe’s Bar.

    When they met an Italian doctor from Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital named Carina DeLuca, they were instantly captivated by her beauty and decided to look her up on social media to learn more about her. They discovered she was the head of the OB-GYN department.

    Scrolling through her Instagram, they noticed that every single photo of Carina had a heart reaction from their captain, along with sweet comments complimenting her looks—Maya clearly being affectionate in the comment section. Not knowing that Maya was actually Carina’s girlfriend, they started a group chat to talk about what they thought was their captain’s creepy, stalker-like behavior.

    Summary

    This is a continuation of 22x17. It's why I think Carina was in Italy and how she reacted to finding out about Maya. There are multiple parts to this that I will post later on following Maya's recovery and how things go for the family and where all of this mess leads...to a silver lining.
