Tackle My Heart

I’m determined to rock this new job.
Managing the London Regents Football Club’s socials? #CareerGoals.

Except there’s one major glitch in my perfect feed: Callum Murray.
He’s the team’s grumpy Scottish fullback, known for red cards, a permanent scowl, and headlines that call him football’s bad boy. The guy is allergic to anything social or media-related, and turns my job into the mission of the century.
He dodges me like a post-match interview, but when I finally corner him at his place, I discover he’s a bird dad to a rescue parrot named Fergie.
Not only do I stumble on a new social media star—you should see Fergie’s rendition of Shake It Off—but I also catch a glimpse of the softer side of the man who swore he didn’t have one.

Now I’m starting to wonder if my biggest challenge isn’t getting him online—but keeping my feelings from going viral.
