The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 93

Chapter 93

The aftermath of the confrontation with Evie left Timothy adrift in a sea of remorse and regret. He had never anticipated that his thoughtless actions would reemerge in such a dramatic fashion. His relationship with Evie was already hanging in the balance, but that video might have severed any chance they had at reconnecting. The weight of regret hung heavy on Timothy’s shoulders as he retraced his steps, his mind consumed by the need to uncover the truth. He was determined to find out who had stolen the video that had shattered his relationship with Evie.

He could think of the few guys he’d shown that video to. Bill and Clay had been enthusiastic about seeing it, which had increased Timothy’s doubts about

committing such a betrayal. Only Josh had actually received the video, since it was his motorcycle he was offering to Timothy.

Timothy sighed and dialed Josh’s number. He needed answers, needed to know who had screwed this up for

him, as if he hadn’t enough damage on his own.

It had been a while since he’d spoken to Josh. Their friendship was highly situational, and its depth was shallow at best.

Suddenly, the ringing was cut off and a groggy voice answered.

“Hey, man,” Josh greeted. “Long time no talk.”

Timothy’s tone was measured, his words chosen with care. “Hey, Josh. It has been at

while.”

There was a moment of awkward silence. Timothy wasn’t feeling particularly nostalgic. He didn’t have the luxury of dwelling on the past.

He needed answers, and he needed them now.

“Did you want to hang out?” Timothy asked.

Josh snorted. “What? Grown so bored of your life of stardom that slum it up with an old bud?” “Perhaps,” Timothy said matter of factly, shrugging a shoulder. “Don’t act like you wouldn’t be up for it.”

This made Josh laugh aloud. Timothy cringed at the sound, but he knew he had to
