Dear Jane

I  broke her heart ten years ago and left town. She hates me, and rightly so. It doesn?t matter that the rest of the country loves me, that I?m a starting quarterback with a multimillion-dollar contract. Because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a failure who was too young?and too afraid?to fight for what I wanted. But I?m not that guy anymore, and all I need is one shot to convince her. *** He has no idea what happened after he left. And now I?m supposed to work alongside him like we don?t have this huge, messy history? But I?m older now, wiser, and I won?t let anything stand in my way of doing a good job for this league. Not even one overpaid, arrogant player who thinks we?re going to kiss and make up. News flash, buddy: I am over you.
