Boston
Last March
Nick Sorensen pushed his hair out of his eyes. It had gotten shaggy while he
was in the hospital. His mother leaned forward, gave him a fake smile, and
released the hand brake on his wheelchair. Nick had hands—he could
operate the damn lever himself. But she needed to fuss, and it was too much
trouble to argue. Nothing seemed real anymore—not even his mother.

“Okay, here we go!” she said.
Across the room, his dad pushed up from the window ledge, holding
Nick’s discharge papers. Nick gave the room a final glance. Through the
window he could see a sliver of TD Garden, the ice arena where he played.
Had played. The team had dropped him while he was in the hospital.
One of the best forwards in the NHL, and they’d straight up released him.
They didn’t think he could come back.
He shoved his hands over the wheels, propelling himself the hell out of
there. The nurses applauded as he passed their station, and people in the
corridors stepped to the side and clapped and took photos.
And then there were the logistics of getting him in the car and the drive
to his apartment—thank god it had an elevator. He and Sammy had almost
taken a place that didn’t, but it had been too close to a couple of Sammy’s
exes, so they’d rented an apartment in a bigger building. It had a good view
of Boston and no known feminine hazards.
When they got to his apartment door, his parents stood back. He had
left this place laughing, with Sammy, bumping shoulders, off to meet four
teammates to help with a destination proposal one of the guys had planned.
They’d ended up with a crumpled fuselage in a field.
Nick turned the key, and his dad pushed the door open. He wheeled
himself in and stared. It wasn’t the apartment he had left.
“Um, Kaylee and Matthew came a couple of weeks ago,” his mom said
softly. “They needed to get Sammy’s things out of here. They just …
needed to get it done.”
He nodded, blinking. So Sammy’s parents had talked to his parents
about it, not him. He’d stopped being in charge of his apartment when he
lost control of everything else.
“They said if they got anything wrong to let them know. They asked if
we wanted to be here, but we thought they should have privacy.”
“And we didn’t have more vacation time,” his dad said. His mom shot
him a poison look. Nick wasn’t supposed to know how hard it had been on
his parents, the call about the crash and then him being in the hospital so
long. They had come immediately, stayed for a week, and then, when he’d
been transferred to the rehab wing for another six weeks, they’d taken turns.
He’d told them to go home, but one of them was there every day anyway,
which was pointless because he wasn’t talking. Mostly he looked out the
window. His teammates who hadn’t been on the plane had shifted through
in twos and threes. They brought him contraband food and classic video
game cartridges and team updates. And they left quickly, in case plane
crashes were contagious.
