Summary
"She knows people look at Jack—already big for his age and already resembling Bobby more than he resembles her—and expect he’ll follow in his father’s footsteps, onto the ice and all the way to a Stanley Cup. ‘His father’s son,’ they say, even though Jack has her eyes. He has her moods too; the anxiety that eats at her from the inside out is already apparent even though he’s so young. In the early hours of the morning, when she can’t sleep, Alicia thinks about her quiet, awkward son and worries he’s hers in all the wrong ways."
Or, Alicia Zimmermann, through the years.

Summary
“You’ll tell Bits you’re sick,” Jack says. It takes Kent a second to realize that Bits is the boyfriend. What is he, a chihuahua? “To explain why you’re so off. And that way…I just…I don’t want you touching him.”
Kent barks a laugh that’s probably never escaped Jack’s body before. “Are you fucking serious? We do a full Freaky Friday and your biggest concern is me fondling your boy toy?”

Summary
“Sweetheart, I know how you feel about slowing down, but maybe you should try to change the narrative,” Bitty says gently.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, instead of telling yourself you’re falling short of some arbitrary standard you’ve set for yourself—your healthy self, by the way—try thinking of it as recovering. Right now the best thing you can do for yourself is rest a little so you can start the new season healthy and strong. When’s the last time you gave yourself permission to do that?"
Permission? That’s a new concept. Jack can’t recall ever giving himself permission to slow down.
Or, the one where Jack spends a summer injured and learns a few things in the process.
