1. Who was your first crush?
Darren Cahill. I was gone. That quiet confidence, the Aussie charm, and the way he moved on court—I imprinted like a baby duck. Still a little bit in love, honestly.

2. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert with bursts of sparkle. I can be social and chatty, especially when the topic is tennis or books, but I need quiet time to recharge. Give me a clay court match and a cup of tea, and I’m blissed out.

3. What is your favorite non-sexual thing you like to do with the love of your life?
Hands down, watching tennis together. Sharing a look when someone flubs a volley, yelling “challenge!” in unison, and debating the merits of a slice backhand... it’s our version of a love language.

4. What is one quirky habit your partner does that either annoys you or makes you grin?
They narrate their cooking like it’s a Food Network show, full voiceover and all. It makes me roll my eyes but I can’t help but grin every time.

5. Do you believe in monogamous relationships?
Not particularly. I think love and connection come in all shapes and formats, and monogamy doesn’t feel like the only—or even the most natural—path for me. I’d rather have something deeply honest and flexible than fit into a traditional mold.

 1. What do you like most: Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays (and why)?
Fridays win, hands down. There’s just something magical about the anticipation of the weekend ahead - like anything’s possible. You can stay up late guilt-free, and even if you don’t have big plans, it feels like you might. Saturdays are lovely too, but they come with a bit more responsibility (errands, chores, all that). Sundays... well, Sundays carry that creeping “Monday’s coming” energy. You know the one.

2. What was the best weekend of your life?
Hmm… probably one that involved tennis, sunshine, and something unexpected. Like stumbling into a tournament while traveling in Europe - maybe Rome, or Barcelona - clay dust in the air, a front-row seat to someone’s breakout moment, and that warm, giddy feeling of this is exactly where I’m meant to be. Or maybe it was the first time you saw a player you’ve followed forever absolutely dominate in person. Heart full, feet sore, and totally smitten.

3. What weekend of the year is your favourite?
Wimbledon finals weekend, no contest - and I’m usually there for it. There’s nothing like the buzz of the grounds, the hush before a serve, or the eruption when someone hits a ridiculous winner. You can feel the history in the air, especially on Centre Court. It’s not just about who wins; it’s about witnessing those moments that’ll live on forever. And somehow, every year, it still feels fresh. Electric. Sacred.

4. Do you have any weekend routines?
There’s a rhythm to it, for sure. Saturday mornings are made for a slow start - coffee in a favorite mug, maybe scrolling through tennis scores or tweaking a scene in a fic. If it’s a good day, I'll get out for a walk or a gentle hit on court. Sundays are a bit more introspective - more reading, maybe a bit of journaling, definitely some plotting (both writing-wise and emotionally). And if it’s a tournament weekend? The whole schedule revolves around the match times, no question.

5. Describe your ideal Saturday night.
Something that feels rich and slow. Maybe I'm curled up on the couch with a blanket and a book that makes you swoon or smirk. Maybe you’re writing, really in the zone, letting something dark and delicious unfold between the lines. Or maybe you're watching a replay of a classic match - one of those five-set, back-from-the-brink epics that still gives you goosebumps. A little wine, maybe a scented candle, and absolutely no hard pants.
