Sign it.

My shaky hand doesn't help me here. 

For God sake, Kristen, sign the damn paper.

Yes, I know how big this opportunity is for me : after a stagnant five years in that league - either with Kansas City, Boston or more recently Washington, with several loans in Europe - it is finally time for me to become the player I've always wanted to be. 

Come on, Kratch. This opportunity won't present itself to you anytime soon.

My sister's words are echoing in my mind, as I finally grab the pen and sign right under the Manchester City symbol. I then take a deep breath, relaying my back on the chair again, putting my hands in my head. 

I know I am leaving a lot behind here : my family, my friends, Sam, Steph, her dogs... Even Gina will miss me, even though she spends her time making fun of me. Deep inside, I know something is breaking. But what breaks can be fixed. I need this.

You need this. Think about your career. 

I put the contract back in the envelope, making sure to have taken out the plane ticket of it, before closing it and put the 'primary package' sign on it. When I go and post it right downtown Washington, I know I made the right decision. 

Only one month before I depart.
