MEET HANK. IT’S HIS HOUSE.
It was bordering on darkness when I got home from the gym, nearly
exhausted. June was the off season, which gave me a few months to
build myself up, to hone my skills and my body. A few months to
deserve the opportunity that had come my way late last season when
Stephano Mizzoni left the Wombats, making me the youngest starting
goalie in the FHL.
Living up to the expectations the team had for me would be tough, and
more than that, I didn’t want to let Mizzoni down. His approval–his
friendship–was hard won, and I respected him. A lot. Still, the expectations
I was most worried about were my own.
I’d worked my ass off for this chance.
And now, like my dad loved to point out, it would be pretty damned
easy for me to blow it.
I guided the sleek black truck I’d just acquired into the garage. It almost
didn’t fit, thanks to the truck being huge and the garage being relatively tiny.
But it didn’t matter. They were both mine, outright. Everything I had was
mine, and I’d earned it all myself.
The engine purred to a stop and I shut it off, letting myself sit for a bit,
doing my best to live in the moment, to appreciate where I was. What I had
achieved.
But fuck, Dad’s voice was always in my ear, and I wondered, at what
point would it all be enough for him? Or at what point would I stop caring
what he thought? I wanted to make the All Star team this year, to show him
that I had support—even if it wasn’t from him.
I hopped out and grabbed my gear, blowing out a long breath and doing
my best to clear my head as I stepped inside the house and hit the button for
the garage door.
I went weeks without falling back into the pit of self-recrimination that
Dad had helped me dig as a kid. But then I’d talk to him, and he’d find ways
to push me back in.
“Your brother’s getting married,” Dad had announced this morning
when I’d called him to check in. “Can you believe it? He built a brokerage
and a house, and now he’s gonna build a family.” The pride in Dad’s voice
was unmistakable and, as always, it leveled me. When my father spoke to
TJ, did he sound this proud about me?
I already knew the answer.
TJ was the miracle kid. The baby who was delivered blue and still, but
who magically came back to life against all odds. He was the star athlete,
the star student, and being three years older than me meant everything he
achieved marked the first time a Samuels kid ever did anything. Leaving me
always trailing behind.
