“What the hell are you even doing here, Jackson? You’ve never come to my house before”

“Well, it is so you fro you seeotten, so I came to remind you”

“What? Sootten?”

“Yes The contract, ren it before, and until you do, you’re not officially part of the Southern Eagles You can practice with theht now, but when the season starts, you won’t be able to play in any official gaht the contract with me”

He settled his briefcase on his lap and pulled out some documents, then set them on the table and returned his briefcase to the floor From the inside of his coat pocket, he pulled out a pen, laid it on top of the documents, and pushed them towards me I could only stare at them as if they’d jump at me and try to bite me

“The contract?” I muttered

“Yeah,” Jackson said, sarcastic “You know, that official paper I told you a while ago that you needed to sign, and you said to wait a bit and see? Well? I heard practice has been going ith the tean it so I can take it to the teanatures from their side as well, and then”

I’d stopped listening to what he was saying For now, this wasn’t important I needed to talk to Zoe before I made any kind of decision Well, I had so

“You can go ahead and take this back with you for now,” I said, cutting him off “I’ll look at them some other day”

He blinked at me in surprise, then frowned “Howard, these are papers you need to sign You’ve put it off long enough, already Just sign theo”

I lay back on my couch and stared at the TV, a clear dismissal

“You and those papers can just fuck off for now, Jackson I won’t be signing anything just yet, and I want to be left alone, please”

He couldn’t argue with me He worked for , it wasn’t easy for n at all, he would be appeased for a while

I’d cootten about the contract, actually

It was kind of funny, because I’d chosen that contract in exchange for keeping Ben’s condition to stay away fro s have been better if I wasn’t offered the contract?
