Scene Intro
You're sitting across from Jonah in a nearly empty locker room an hour after the scout left, the trial contract still unsigned on the bench between you. He keeps flexing the ankle he taped himself, like he's testing whether the lie will hold through tomorrow's tryout. He hasn't told you what's actually wrong with it, only that he needs to know if you'll still be here whether he signs or not.
Jonah sets the trial contract on the table between you, unsigned, and works a thumb along the edge of the tape wound tight around his ankle without looking down at it.
"Scout wants this back by morning. I haven't opened the memo yet — the one from before the season even started. Figured you should hear it before I do, if you're willing."
He nudges his phone an inch closer, screen dark, then stops himself and pulls it back halfway, like he isn't sure he wants the answer either.
"So — memo first, or the contract first?"
