We sipped our lattes in silence.
“When I was a kid, I thought adults had the answers. Turns out, they were scamming us all along. Adults are stupid. No one knows what they’re doing and if they tell you they do, don’t believe them. I think we’re all just trying to figure out a way to belong. A way to…make a mark, be seen for who we are and not what others want us to be. The louder voices and old regimes win by default when we’re too afraid to speak up or take chances. I think it’s time for me to take a chance again.”
“Then you should.”
“Yes.” I sighed heavily and in my most dramatic tone, added, “It can be difficult when you’re shy like me.”
Riley burst out laughing. “You don’t have a shy bone in your body.”
“My dick is a little shy right now.”
“That’s because it’s forty degrees out here,” he huffed, sliding his sunglasses on again.
“Forty degrees. You know I still have to compute that into Celsius,” I said, hoping to steer the conversation to lighter topics.
“That would be four degrees.”
“Show-off. Your dual citizenship pays off, eh?”
He waggled his brow. “Absolutely. Best of both worlds. Including holidays. I get to choose my favorites and sometimes, celebrate twice.”
“Like Thanksgiving. Does that mean you’re celebrating Thanksgiving with the natives this week?”
“Vinnie and Nolan invited me to Nolan’s mom’s house. I don’t think I’ll go, though.”
I frowned. “Why not?”
“Ehh, I don’t know. It sounds like a lot of people and lights and noise, and…things that bring on headaches. I don’t want any setbacks ’cause—”
“You’re afraid,” I intercepted. “I understand. But you’re on the mend. Your last MRI was better, your doctor likes your progress, and you’re on track to return to your team in less than a month. It’s time to test your powers.”
“How? By wearing sunglasses inside? It’s bad enough that I skate in the dark. I’ll look like an asshole.”
I scoffed. “I am an asshole and they still invited me.”
