I didn’t pick up a ball until I was ten and Linc threw a ball at me at a party. I knew Loch and him. I was a grade above them. But we weren’t close. Not until that day. Not until that ball. That fucking ball changed everything. By the end of that day, I knew I wanted to play football forever. I also knew I wanted to marry Lexie Sinclair. She’s the only thing I’ve ever denied myself. And I did it for her, whether she knows it or not.
