He spent eight years not thinking about the boy he left behind. Now that boy decides whether he is fit to play.
Ollie Boothe is the loudest man at Ashcombe Athletic and he works at it. He is the voice on the team coach, the fine in the group chat, the right-back who turns up every Saturday and never once admits it costs him anything. What he does not talk about is the hospital room he walked out of at nineteen, or the boy in the bed whose knee had just ended everything, or the four times he came back and was sent away.
Reece Maddox took eight years to build a second life out of the wreck of the first one. Now he is Ashcombe's new first-team physio, on probation, with the authority to stop any player he judges unfit and a plan to keep a professional distance from the one he grew up with. That distance survives roughly one morning. Ollie lies about everything that matters, starting with his own body, and Reece is the only person in the building who can read the difference between a joke and a number.
A new nineteen-year-old is training in Ollie's position and making the pitch look shorter. His left ankle has started arriving late. He gives the medical staff an honest number right up until the moment honesty would cost him the shirt, and then he gives it to the man he is sleeping with instead.
Because they find each other again in a dark treatment room, and after that in a flat with the radiator ticking, and Reece touches him the way nobody has since he was eighteen. Careful. Certain. Entirely his.
But a physio cannot treat the player in his bed. A reporter has both their names. Ollie's sister needs him at home more than the club needs him on the wing, and every instinct Reece has when he is frightened is to close a door and call it looking after somebody.
They broke this once between the two of them. This time they will have to say so out loud.
