    Summary

    As far as he’d seen, Scott had never fought over it during a game. Hockey players were, to Kip’s understanding, Neanderthals who were prone to dropping their gloves at the slightest provocation. Scott hardly ever fought anyone, and the bruises he’d borne after those ugly games had been defensive. Instead of fighting, Scott skated harder, played better, scored goal after goal until there could be no doubt as to his skill, his strength, despite…well, despite the other thing.

    Summary

    Scott doesn’t often get stopped in his tracks by guys he sees. He doesn’t really ever get that birds-dancing-round-his-head, sweet-chorus-of-angels, crepuscular-rays-alighting-on-the-earth knockabout, or hasn’t really since Mike Johansson transferred into St Thomas in senior year of high school and he had, for the first time in his life, fallen in love. Unrequited, but still. That was fifteen years ago. He’s been in love since then, but he hasn’t been blindsided in a while. He’d forgotten how it feels.

    Summary

    “What makes him your best client?” Kip asks.

    “He’s nice, his dog is well behaved, the apartment is insane, and he has a very set schedule. It’s not a daily gig, it’s kind of random. You have to stay at his place in the Upper West Side a few times a week, but again, the apartment is amazing. He’s some kind of athlete? So the schedule is also nuts. But he gives, like, six months of dates in advance.” Maria answers.

    A set schedule of dates works for Kip, who is, these days, trying to make his own schedule.

    “And,” Maria smiles wide, “I think you’ll like him.”

    That beatific expression will come back to him, five days later, when he meets Scott Hunter for the first time.

    ---

    Kip Grady is a PhD student who takes a side-gig walking Scott Hunter's dog. Along the way: the precarity of academia vs hockey; keeping something good at arm's length despite an innate desire for safety and love; gratuitous metaphors about both.
