Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from my position as chief legal counsel of Kline-Simmons Realties, The Paragons Football Organization and all related subsidiaries. My resignation will take effect two weeks from today’s date.
My work at your organization over the past few years has been both challenging and rewarding, and I have learned many personal and professional lessons that I will take with me in the next chapter of my career. I truly appreciate all the opportunities that my position here has afforded me. But the time has come to move on.
During this transition period, if there is anything that I can do to assist in finding and training my replacement, I will gladly be at your disposal.
Sincerely,
Nadia
I start to write ‘Chester’ but realize that if I’m doing this, I might as well go all in and stand by my decision.

I fold up the letter into a neat rectangle, my hands shaking even worse than before. I slide it into a crisp white envelope. I seal the envelope.
I seal my fate.
I agonize over my decision all night and in the morning over breakfast, too. The tug of war plays out in my head at work all day.
Just when I’m sure my brain is about to explode, Liam’s head appears in my doorway.
“Hey,” I say somberly. “You ready to go?”
He nods firmly. “I’ll be waiting in the lobby.” And then, he’s gone.
I rise from my seat, gathering my things. I make sure to take Harry’s contract with me even though I’m confident I won’t be needing it for this discussion.
All I’ll need is that crisp white envelope. The envelope containing my resignation letter.
Oh god. What am I doing?
I round my desk and grab my coat from the hook behind the door. This may be crazy, but it’s my final decision. Taking my wedding ring from the desk drawer, I slip it back onto my finger. Where it belongs.
No turning back now.

Loud chatter fills the air. The happy hour crowd at the Snow Moon Brewery is particularly rowdy today.
I’m not judging them. I’m in a pretty uproarious mood myself.
Through the window, the clouds are gray and so heavy they look like they’re about to drop right out of the sky. The first fat snowflakes have begun to fall. But not even the gloomy weather can fuck with my good mood.
I had an orgasm and a nap today. And then I had another orgasm. My wife was certainly ‘in the mood’ this morning. I definitely approved.
I know that most guys spend their twenties being dumbasses, drinking away their livers, and making stupid mistakes. But that’s not going to be me. The rest of my twenties are going to be an epic story of thriving. Okay, that makes me sound like a different kind of dumbass. But that’s okay. I can live with that.
For the first time in twenty-five years, I feel like I’m succeeding. I feel like my life is on track. My game ison.My teammates are all pumped up and riding our winning streak.
Hell, I even got a positive shoutout on theSports Broadcast Networkthe other day, and that hasn’t happened since I first got drafted. Except even then, the sportscasters were less than ecstatic about my future in the NFL, grading me a C- in the league. Boy, are they eating their words now.
But all that pales in comparison to Nadia. I’m married to the love of my life, and things are going great with my beautiful girl.
Life is good, man. Life is good.
I practically dance my way through the pub where I’m meeting my brothers for drinks. We usually get together way more often during my off season, but when I was working out at the gym with Davis yesterday, he insisted that it’s my turn to buy. So the gang drove here to Sin Valley to meet up with me.
