The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 150

The evening at the restaurant had been long and tiring. The clattering of dishes, the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, and the demands of the customers had left. me drained. As I stepped out into the cool night air, all I wanted was to get into my car and drive home, away from the chaos of the day.

I walked down the dimly lit street, the soft glow of street lamps casting a warm and comforting light. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, a jumble of emotions that I couldn’t quite untangle. The events of the past weeks had left me feeling adrift, caught in the crosscurrents of my own emotions and the tangled web of the Hayes family.

As I walked, I passed by the jewelry store that had always caught my eye with its sparkling displays and gleaming treasures. It was a place of dreams, a place where love was celebrated and promises were made. I had often wandered past, lost in the romantic allure of the window displays, imagining a future that seemed impossibly distant.

But that night, something caught my eye, something that made my heart skip a beat. I paused, my steps faltering, as I looked through the glass and saw them- Timothy and Stella.

Stella’s excitement contrasted sharply with Timothy’s apparent resignation, and I couldn’t help but wonder what lay beneath the surface of their relationship.

As I stared, lost in my own thoughts, I didn’t notice that I had captured Timothy’s attention. He turned his gaze toward me, and for a moment, our eyes met across the distance that separated us. In that fleeting moment, the world seemed to stand still, and all the unresolved emotions that had simmered beneath the surface came rushing to the forefront.

I saw a longing in Timothy’s eyes, a yearning that mirrored my own. It was a silent plea, a recognition of the pain and confusion that had come to define our

relationship. In that moment, we were both prisoners of our own choices, bound by the consequences of our actions.

But as quickly as it had begun, the moment was shattered. I couldn’t bear the intensity of his gaze, the raw emotion that it conveyed. With a quick, almost panicked movement, I ducked away and turned to run, my heart pounding in my
