Thanks, man
That was all thanks to Tremblay
Avery Lawson 3:23PM
I thought we hated Tremblay
Jamie Carter 3:25 PM
Nah, he's gotten a lot better
I think he's just used to the old-school shit
He's been helping me read the teams
How's the leg?
Avery Lawson 3:26PM
Fuckin' three steps forward, three steps back
After a week on the ice, they pulled me again.
Too much swelling
Jamie Carter 3:27 PM
Shit, man
That sucks.
We're about to take off – call you when we land?
Avery Lawson 3:28PM
Yeah, man
Talk later.
As I put my phone into airplane mode, Tremblay sits down next to me.
“You okay if I read for a bit? Maybe we can watch film at the hotel tonight?”
I’ve surprised myself with this offer, and I fully expect Tremblay toturn me down.
“Oh, sure. Maybe we can get the whole first line in on the conversation?”
I notice he’s bringing in others to act as a buffer and I’m frankly grateful. Being alone in a hotel room together is probably not advisable, even with how things have been going between us recently.
“Awesome. I’ll let Lindy and Matthews know — we can meet in one of their rooms?”
“Sure. Who are you rooming with?”
“Oh, uh, no one?”
“Isn’t that pretty uncommon for a rookie?”
“Yup. But maybe you haven’t heard? I’m gay.”
