The changing room air crackles, thick with anticipation. My phone screen glows with Simon's direct message. My heart beats a frantic rhythm against my ribs, matching the weight of the commitment. I'm in, I type back, the words final. The blur of days since has been filled with public debate and mounting pressure. Now, standing here in the locker room, it all becomes real. Simon and JJ greet me with wide, excited grins. I return the smile, moving toward my gear: a black shirt, shorts, boots. Changing quickly, I break the silence by joining the team's lively chatter, ready for the first charity match of my life.
