Summary
The next day, Connor works out at the gym. He skates for over an hour. He texts Dr. Terry and Kyle that he’s good to rejoin the team once they start practicing again after the All-Star break. He tries to cram as much protein as he can into his (essentially entirely liquid) diet to keep his weight up. He pulls the sheets up on his bed, showers, throws on a load of laundry, and talks to his mom and tells her that he’s fine.
He thinks about Kevin.
And he watches the Blackhawks lose.
So basically - just a routine, typical day in Connor’s life at this point.
[Set in January / February 2024, Connor Bedard fractures his jaw, begs the team doctor to clear him to return to play, and realizes his feelings for his teammate. Sort of, but not necessarily in that order.]

“Same, not much,” Connor replies. “Crazy how much time doing shit for the team takes up, and then when there’s a break it’s like an entire disruption of your routine, right?”
“I feel you,” Kevin replies. “I haven’t sat down to play a video game in months. I feel like I should be taking a nap or something. Doing laundry because we’re about to leave on a road trip. It’s nice to get a break from it.”
Connor nods. Definitely, for sure - there’s seemingly always laundry.
