Our next training camp is in Princeton, New Jersey. The same routine, but with one key difference: Kara is back with the team, working as our sports therapist. Our relationship has been strained since she confronted me about my drinking before last year’s World Cup. One night, after I leave the recovery room, she asks to speak to me privately, and I follow her into her hotel room.

“What the fuck?” she says. “Things are weird between us, ever since I said something to you. They feel inauthentic.” She asks questions: Do I understand how difficult it was for her to confront me? Especially since I’ve made a habit of surrounding myself with people who would rather have fun with me than be real with me? Especially since I can be prickly when I hear something I don’t want to believe?

“Look,” I say. “I love you, but I don’t trust you.”

She aims her next words with precision. “You don’t trust me because I care about you?”

I’m stolid and impassive. “No,” I said. “I have to work my way back to trusting you again.”

I turn and leave. I know the conversation is just beginning, but right now I’m not able to hear another word.
