“I could be wrong,” Evie says, “but it sounds like Theo might be doing a little bit of self-sabotage.” “What do you mean?” “Maybe he feels guilty about playing? About enjoying his life when his dad isn’t around to see him do it?” I lean forward and prop my elbows on the counter. “Yeah, maybe. I just wish I could help him. I don’t want to push, but none of the other guys know what he’s been through. I don’t want him to get himself in trouble, and if something doesn’t change, he will.” “That might be what he wants,” Evie says. “If he gets kicked off the team, he can’t feel guilty about playing.”
