Played Out

Never say never.



Except, that is the exact word the doctor used when he answered the question when will I be able to play football again?



Never.



Lost and wanting to be alone, I head back to my small hometown.



The house I buy needs a lot of work. And I need a purpose. What I don't need is the mouthy woman next door who seems to hate me without reason.



Sadie is a single mom trying to rebuild her life after her husband left her. When he unexpectedly shows up in town, she tells him I'm her boyfriend. A part I am more than happy to play.



Stolen kisses, lots of laughs - the more we play this game the more I fall for her. The more I want this little act to be real.



Only problem is, Sadie says that will never happen.



I say, never say never.
