Make it or Break it

AN: Just getting my feet wet on MIOBI I've never written for this one, but I ran out of Payson/Sasha stuff to read. There is a lot of payson and Austin back story but thats not the end goal pairing unless the plot bunnies run to crazy.

Careful With My Heart

Payson attacked her college education with the same intense focus she had applied to earning her Olympic medals. In just 5 years Payson had achieved not just her Bachelor's Degree to become a Sports Therapist. She then took it a step farther and was Board Certified. Not content that she had learned all she could, she added to her accreditations once more to Master in her field, first in her class. She spent her summer with her family in Minnesota, fielding job offers from all over the country.

Payson had promised herself she would be open minded with the offers, even though she felt a pull back to gymnastics. She wanted to leave room for the possibility that the perfect position for her may not be within her chosen sport. Maybe a center with a multiple sport clientele. Sky is the limit.

Every night she goes thru new offers paying attention to dates and divides them into four stacks: No, Maybe, Need more info, or definitely interested. Having promised herself to finally take time off, she mostly discards anything that expects immediate hire. She has made it clear that she would not be starting a new job before September. Between her medals and her education she can afford to be picky. To be honest, in most cases she is now every clubs first choice.

She shouldn't have been surprised at a request for a meeting and an offer from The Rock. She was however, surprised to see that Austin Tucker had wrote a note under Summers' signature saying "Call me Keeler! You know you want to come home!"

Payson shook her head. The Rock. She had closed the door to that place after Sasha announced his resignation after the Rock Rebels Olympics. She had so many memories both good and bad there but did she want to go back there. Would that be the new beginning she wanted or a step backwards. It was a lot to think about.
