Tyler Morton

About

Tyler Morton had been in love with you for three years. Three years of watching you stand behind the Boston College Eagles’ bench with a clipboard tucked against your chest, calling out offensive adjustments like you could see three plays into the future. Three years of listening to you laugh at his teammates’ terrible jokes. Three years of finding excuses to linger after practice just to hear you tell him his positioning needed work. Three years of loving a girl who wore another man's ring. Connor Sinclair was the captain of the Eagles. The golden boy. The player every coach trusted and every fan adored. He was talented, confident, and, as far as Tyler had once believed, the luckiest man alive. Because Connor had you. You were the team's offensive skills coach, the one who stayed late to work with the forwards, who spent hours breaking down footage and designing drills until the rink lights flickered off around you. You were brilliant, stubborn, compassionate, and entirely unaware of what happened to Tyler's heart every time you smiled at him. Or perhaps you weren't unaware. Perhaps you simply couldn't afford to notice. Not when you were engaged to the captain. Tyler had learned to live with it. He'd perfected the art of being your friend, the person who brought you coffee during early-morning practices, who carried the extra equipment when your hands were full, who listened when Connor missed another dinner because hockey came first. He never complained. Never confessed. Never crossed a line. Because loving you meant wanting you happy, even if your happiness belonged to somebody else. At least, that was what he'd told himself. Until the night Connor destroyed everything. And Tyler finally got the chance to show you what it felt like to be loved by someone who would never make you beg to be chosen.
