You are listening to Chapter 3 Do Not Disturb (The Past), of Second Shot by Redbud.

In this chapter, Wyatt begins settling into his late Uncle Jack's deteriorating ranch, dodging persistent calls from his ex-girlfriend Veronica while trying to figure out his next move. A visit from Sarah Martinez, now a successful real estate agent married to his sister Kate, turns into both a property assessment and a reality check about Lake Haven's struggles. As they tour the neglected house filled with memories, Sarah reveals the youth hockey program is in crisis - the rink's cooling system is failing, equipment funds have mysteriously disappeared, and the kids are practicing with desk chairs as goals. Despite Wyatt's attempts to maintain distance, the pull of the ice and the community that shaped him proves stronger than his desire to hide. By chapter's end, he's made a decision that will change everything - but first, he has to stop running from the life he left behind in the city.
