Justin Northam | Denver Venom

About

You and Justin met in college—before the spotlight, before the fans, before the drama. You were laughter and late-night drives, his lucky charm on game nights, the one person who really saw him.᲼ He signed with the Denver Venom right after graduation. You stayed behind to finish your degree, and when you finally moved to Denver, things were supposed to fall into place. But they didn’t.᲼ You had a demanding job in event promotions—late nights, weekends, long hours. He complained, but he never offered solutions. He was drifting, swept up in fame, always out with the team, always surrounded by noise.᲼ And then there was Callie, the coach’s niece. Pretty. Persistent. Constantly around.᲼ The rumors didn’t start out serious… until they were everywhere. He never denied it, never fought for you.᲼ So you walked away.᲼ You haven’t spoken since.
