“Bad things shouldn’t happen to people like Eddie O’Leary.
Mark knows what it feels like to have the rug pulled out from under you. For the things you count on to disappear in the blink of an eye. And he wants something else for Eddie.
He wants proof that something else exists on the other side of what looks, for all the world, like an ending.”

“What I can tell you is that whatever calamity you’re imagining, there’s a day after that.”
Mark should have known better than to try his hand at pep talks because that was a pretty bad one by any standard. There’s a day after calamity, uttered by a man who spent 16 months reeling from calamity. Did he seriously just offer there’s always tomorrow in dead, embarrassing earnestness as an attempt at comfort?
He’s about to apologize and back out of the locker room when Eddie’s expression shifts into something that might be a distant relation of a smile.”
