Hiding our relationship to the team wasn’t right, and I never intended to disrespect the institution of USA Valor. But sometimes, love has other plans and gives a bigmiddle finger to the boundaries we set for ourselves.

I don’t know what will happen with our positions on the team, but I sincerely apologize for any disappointment we have caused. I think I can speak for both of us when I say if we are allowed to come back, we promise to have the best interest of the team. Our roles as player and coach will be prioritized, just as they always were.

And if you believe the rumors that he was cheating on me, please see Dell’s statement next.

Thank you for understanding and I hope you can forgive us, because I love sharing my life with you all. There’s so much more I hope to someday share with you.

With love,

Robyn

When I flip to the next slide, it’s a picture of us from a summer sevens tournament in college. Both of us are ragged and tired, but smiling at the camera with an arm around each other.

I remember that day. I remember feeling at peace when she first spotted me from across an empty field and ran into my arms like she always did. A wave of determination settles over me because I know…

It’s my turn to run.

But there’s more after that picture. The next slide is from Dell.

I’m going to be a lot more direct than Robyn.

Isaiah Johanssen used to be my client, then we became friends, then we became more. We're in love with each other and Robyn Cassidy. There was never cheating because we were all together. If polyamory is a newconcept to you then do some research.

Yes, I used to make content for a certain spicy, subscription-based site, and I had never been ashamed of that until feelings emerged between me and Robyn. I was scared of what it would mean if people found out—scared of the negative image it might cast on her. But here we are with our dirty laundry airing because I refuse to keep us in the dark any longer.

I love Robyn Cassidy and Isaiah Johanssen with all my heart and we’re not hiding it any more. You can deal with it, or you can get out of the way.

With love,

Dell

“Holy shit,” I whisper.

“Yeah,” Dane says. “Seems like they haven’t given up on you.”

They also placed a huge bet that I would come back. Because if I don’t, then they just shot me in the foot. Now there’s no way in hell I could walk into the Valor office today and lie to HR that all we shared was a kiss.

They have me right where they want me.

That means Robyn knows this could get her fired, and she’s still going through with it. Holy hell. I can’t let this be for naught.

“There’s more,” Jonah says gesturing to my phone. “Just check your DMs. I sent you a bunch of stuff.”

@TheLondonHornets: Isaiah Johanssen is a gentleman and a hell of a rugby player. Not as good as Robyn Cassidy, but maybe she could teach him a thing or two. #WithYouWithLove

@ServingSerwaa: Let’s remember former USA Valor fullback @JasonCrandle not only dated a porn star while playing for @USAValor but made videos with her and was lauded for it. #WithYouWithLove

@JasonCrandle: That’s true. #WithYouWithLove

@Khaos(She/They): Listen, I know everything that happens on this team and even I didn’t know they were in love. #WithYouWithLove

@ToniBaloney:U think she got preferential treatment? Ha! If u dont think we’d call him out on his BS as soon as that happened then ur delulu. #WithYouWithLove

@Casshole: No one works harder for this team than them. #WithYouWithLove

@WalesRugbyOfficial: If they don’t play, we don’t play. #WithYouWithLove

@PhillyMensRugbyOffiicial: We will suspend all games until @USAValor reinstates both Coach Johanssen and Robyn Cassidy. #WithYouWithLove
