“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the hotshot defenseman himself, and here I thought you were too good for us now that you’re a big star.” A hand slaps me over the shoulder as Timothy and Jamie come into view.

“I was always too big of a star for you, so I don’t see how a new address changes that,” I throw right back.

“Maybe you had too big of a stick stuck up your ass,” Timothy chuckles as he pulls me into a half-hug. “It’s good to see you, man.”

“You too,” I agree, shifting my attention to Jamie, who extends his hand. “How have you guys been doing? What are you up to?”

“Prepping to go to law school,” Jamie says.

My brows shoot up. “No shit?”

“Yeah, busted my knee up freshman year, so I tried a few different things to figure out what I wanna do with my life, and I ended up really enjoying the debate team, so here we are.”

“I can’t say I’m surprised. You always liked to argue.”

“Oh, shut up.” Jamie elbows me, unsuccessfully trying to keep a straight face.

“That’s so cool, man, really.” I turn toward Timothy. “What about you? Still causing trouble? Chasing girls around the town?”

Timothy chuckles lightly and lifts his hand, a wedding band shining on his finger. “Hardly. My version of trouble these days is not putting my dirty clothes where they belong, so I must find different ways to apologize to my wife.”

“Wife?”

Well, I didn’t see that one coming. Timothy was one of the biggest playboys when we played together in high school. I was certain he’d stay single forever.

“And a kid on the way.” He looks around and points toward the tables. “She’s there.”

A little brunette looks our way and smiles at him which has a big, goofy grin spreading over his face.

“Who’d have thought? The biggest playboy from our class has turned into a sap,” Jamie teases. “Not just that. Can you believe he’s teaching the new generation? We’re all screwed.”

“What?”

Timothy shrugs. “I’m working as an assistant coach for the high school. It’s actually been pretty cool. You should see some of the boys play. They’re so fucking good. I can’t wait to see what they can do in the next season.”

“That’s amazing. Who’d have thought that you, of all people, would end up being a pillar of respectfulness?”

“I think calling him a pillar of respectfulness is pushing it a little,” Jamie laughs.

“Fuck off, you’re just jealous I get to play when you have to deal with people’s bullshit all day.”

Jamie takes a sip of his beer. “I’ll remind you of that when you come complaining to me about one high school drama or another.”

“It’ll keep things interesting.” Timothy turns to me. “But seriously, if you have time, you should stop by the school. It’s technically off-season, and we can’t practice, but I’ve seen some of the boys working out alone on the field. I’m sure they’d appreciate you coming. Everybody went crazy last year when they found out a Bluebonnet native got into the NFL.
