I can’t let this get the best of me. If Lucy didn’t want me in Liam’s life, I’ll fucking honor her wish. He’s a great kid, and he’s never needed a dad to be that.
What sense is there in me trying to insert myself into his life permanently?
I’ll leave Izzie and Liam alone, just like they want. This is for the best. Lucy thought so, Izzie thinks so, and now I think so, too.
I just can’t let this be the thing that ruins my career. I can’t let Izzie distract me from what I do best. I can’t let her take away the only real consistency I’ve had in my life.
I’m a fucking good quarterback, and I deserve all of what I have around me—fame, fortune, everything.
I’ll be damned if that all comes crashing down on Izzie or Liam. I didn’t even know them. We can all go back to not existing in each other’s personal lives.
Shedoesn’t need me,hedoesn’t need me, and I certainly don’t need them running around and tearing down the only thing I’ve ever been able to truly count on: football.
In fact, I’m gonna go do some drills by myself. I’m fucking pumped and ready to take it out on something. What better than the field?
I march up my stairs, toss my bag over my shoulder, and head out to my car. The drive to the stadium is quiet, aside from the wind whipping around me while my car top is down.
Letting the air blow through my hair is more liberating than I thought it would be. I could honestly just drive around all day.
But I’m fucking determined. I’m going to train hard today, just me and the field.
And nothing can stop me.
Not Izzie, not Liam.
No one.
