I’ve never imagined my future, but for a second, I do. I look one year, five years, ten years down the road and try to get a glimpse into who that person might be, but all I see is red hair. Green eyes.

She sniffs and buries her face in my neck. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to comfort someone who just shared the most tragic part of their life with me, because telling her it’s all right. It’s going to be okay sounds like a load of fucking bullshit. But I want to make it okay. I want to take her pain and carry some of it for myself, so she doesn’t have to do it alone.

“I carry this weight with me. I think it’s my fault. Maybe I should’ve just done something else to make her happy. It’s why I walk around with this chip on my shoulder; I feel like I have to constantly defend my decisions.”

“She hasn’t played a game yet and you’re already throwing her under the bus?” I ask, grabbing the microphone. “Pardon my language, but that’s not going to fucking fly around here. Treat my teammates with respect, or I’ll make sure we remove your press access for the foreseeable future. You can watch games on channel 5, not from the cushy media box, asshat.”

SONIC BOOM

I don't like that he's making her laugh. I don't like that she thinks he's funny, and I liked it better when it was just the two of us.

YES EXPRESS IT MAVERICK
