“Who’s ruining their career?”
I stiffen at Nigel’s voice and for the first time, I wish him gone. He steps up beside me, close enough for his sleeve to brush mine. I have to physically restrain myself from moving away from him.
“Ah, St. James. Nice to meet you, son.” For the second time tonight, one of my teammates treats my dad’s outstretched hand like it’s attached to a corpse.
“I’m not your son.” Nigel corrects

“What did he say to you?” He sounds angry, though I don’t think it’s directed at me.
“Oh, the usual. Just wanted to talk about everything I do wrong.”
“That’s bullshit, you’re the strongest forward on our line. What could he possibly have to complain about?”
“It’s okay.”
“No, Corwin, it’s not. Whatever he said to you made you physically ill. Don’t answer next time he calls.”
