    Summary

    “You know me so well.”

    “I do.”

    Something about the simple certainty of that hit Troy unexpectedly hard. He did know Troy well. He knew that Troy hated tomatoes but liked tomato sauce. He knew that Troy got quiet when something was bothering him. He knew Troy secretly loved terrible reality television despite complaining through every episode. He knew Troy called his mom every Sunday night even when they had nothing to talk about. He knew when Troy needed space and when “space” was the absolute last thing he actually needed. He knew Troy hated having people sing “Happy Birthday” to him. And he knew Troy’s favorite cake (yellow cake with chocolate frosting).

     

    Harris helps make Troy's birthday special.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what I’ll do without you, you know.” Hayden sighs and loops his arm around Troy’s like he’s done all summer. “Who’s going to make sure I get to practice on time?”

    “You’ll find someone else just as patient and good at negotiating with you as I am.”

    “I don’t think so.” Hayden tilts his head, so Troy does too, and they’re close enough that he could kiss him if he tried. “There’s no one like you.”

    Or: Eight years ago, Hayden Pike and Troy Barrett were best friends who shared everything together. Today, they're strangers, meeting again for the first time at Shane and Ilya's Game Changers Hockey Camp. Can Hayden pick through eight years and one last summer to figure out where they went wrong, or is Troy so stuck in the past that they've lost their chance?

    Summary

    Troy is fucked — he is well and truly fucked, and not in the good way.

    If he had to hazard a guess, he would say the guy driving the truck that hit him had to have been going at least seventy, maybe eighty down this residential street.

    Summary

    Troy walks towards his stall, slowly, eyes darting around the display, trying to take in every detail at once. The sheer number of photos strikes him, and as he gets closer, he can see they’re all of him. Him with Hazy, and Roz, and coach. Him on the ice in full dress, and another in just pads in the locker room. Him with kids at the hockey camp, and signing shirts in front of the Centre, and volunteering at the women’s shelter. Candid shots, too. He moves closer, his fingertips tracing one shot of him at a coffee shop, head ducked mid-laugh, sideburns longer than he’s worn in two years. Another is more recent, midday on the Rideau, his arms outstretched like he’s mid-pirouette. Hundred and hundreds of pictures, arranged so carefully, so artfully, that they tell a story.

    He swallows roughly, blinking back the burning in his eyes. This is a very, very weird goodbye present.

    ----

    Troy is absolutely sure Harris is going to take the job and leave him. It's what they both deserve.

    Nah. Get loved, Troy Barrett.
