    Summary

    Luke cuddles close to him. He pulls Solana into his arms, for a change. She coos and melts into him. He wonders if it was a moral failing, taking so much time off after she was born. He wonders if he should have been at the rink the weekend after, like Zach had requested. Post-partum and a lame hip can be ignored to score some goals, right?

    “Do you think I’m weak?” Luke purposefully asks the question now, because he knows Beau cannot respond.

    He watches as Beau’s eyes grow sad, though, as Beau stares at him, wishing Luke could see himself the way Beau sees him, so different from his reflection in Beau’s glassy pupils.

    “You’re strong,” Beau whispers to him. “Stronger than I am.”

    Or, Luke knows how to fix things. He can leave the sport he loathes. He can repair his relationship with the man he loves. He has everything he needs to be better.

    He sabotages himself instead.
