I had set my alarm for seven in the morning so I could get in an early workout before the gym got busy. By the time I got home and showered, dread had settled in, knowing I’d have the rest of the day with nothing to do. Then I remembered that Lacey has court. I know she said she didn’t want to see me, that her mood is usually crappy, but I decided to forgo her warning and head down to the courthouse.

By the time I track down what courtroom Lacey is in, a case is already in session, and I was told I had to wait to enter. As luck would have it, my phone starts ringing. I smile when I see my agent’s name.

“Yo, Harvey, what’s up?”

“You’re going to the Super Bowl. I have box seats for you and a guest. Steel offered tickets to you and a few other contract players including Kruse.”

Fuck…if the owner wants me there, then they must be close to making a decision.

“I’m still in New York.”

“I don’t give a damn where you’re at, but a week from Sunday, you’ll have your ass in San Diego, where you’ll drink cheap beer and eat expensive food while you kiss Steel’s ass and show him how great you and Kruse get along.”

“I do get along with Kruse.”

“Girard, you’re one of the best tight ends in the league, there’s no disputing that, and now that they’ve lost Adams, you’re officially the heart and soul of their team. They don’t want to lose you, but that doesn’t mean they want to pay you what you’re worth, especially if it means they aren’t getting the quarterback they feel is best. You need to show up and more than get along with Kruse. Show Steel he’s making the right decision by keeping both of you.”

“I’m not Kruse’s agent and neither are you,” I growl. “If Steel doesn’t want to pay me what I’m worth, then fuck him.”

“You don’t mean that. You want to retire in Arizona, so fucking put on a goddamn smile and remind Steel exactly what he’ll be losing if you decide to take one of the ten other offers we have sitting on the table.”

Finishing my career in Arizona has always been my plan, but that was before my best friend unexpectedly retired. That was before I met Lacey Davis. Now, the only thing I know is I’m not ready to give up football, but that doesn’t necessarily mean my heart belongs to the same team that’s been my family for years.

“I’ll be at the fucking game, but don’t think for a second that means I’m going to eat shit. Steel either wants me or he doesn’t.”

“You’re absolutely correct. The man is an asshole who’s looking to save a dime. If you’re not dead set on staying with Arizona, then I’ll put out some real feelers and get you the money you’re worth.”

“It’s not even about the money,” I snarl.

“You’re thirty years old, Girard. This contract is most definitely about the money.
