    Summary

    It’s a reminder that time is moving all too fast. He and Luke were swimming in the ocean in Cancún, then he blinked, and his partner is five months pregnant and nipping his tongue with shaved down, missing bottom teeth. Beau is afraid he will blink again and his daughter will be a teenager, and Luke will have all but forgotten him, because he’s off playing for his tenth, eleventh, twelfth NHL team and family life is nothing but a long shadow that haunts him.

    Luke asks to go to sleep. He says his lower back is hurting, and she’s moving too much, and his temples are throbbing. Beau lets Luke back into their bedroom and closes the balcony doors behind him.

    Luke is slipping through his fingers, and there’s nothing he can do about it.

    Or, Luke and Beau spend the summer together before Solana is born. They both spend the summer in love with each other, and missing the family they should become, knowing they will go long-distance that winter.
