Summary
This story follows the same rise, rivalry, and slow-burn collision between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov — but this time, Shane has a sister.
Caitlin Hollander has spent her whole life watching her brother from the sidelines. She knows his tells better than anyone.
From World Juniors to draft night to their first NHL seasons, the world sees two prodigies destined to clash. Headlines call them rivals. Analysts compare every stat. The tension is loud, public, marketable.
Caitlin sees something else.
When Ilya Rozanov enters the picture. He is magnetic, relentless, constitutionally incapable of pretending to feel less than he does and she notices the shift before anyone else does. While the league builds a narrative of enemies, she watches the space between her brother and his fiercest rival fill with something far more complicated. Lingering looks. Restlessness. A name spoken differently than the others.
Told from the sidelines, this is the same story of Shane and Ilya, just seen by someone close enough to notice that the fiercest rivalries don't always look like hate.
Sometimes they look like inevitability.

Summary
The world thinks it's watching two rivals. Caitlin Hollander knows better.
She's just moved to Ottawa, taken the reins of the newly-formed Irina Foundation, and settled into a strange, wonderful new normal — one where her brother's fiercest on-ice rival now shows up at family dinners, falls asleep on her couch, and has become one of the people she trusts most.
One by one, Shane starts letting the truth out — to his family, his closest friends, the people who matter most. Each conversation costs him something and gives him something back: the terror and relief of finally being known.
But there's a limit to how far that truth can travel. Shane isn't ready for the world to see what Caitlin already knows — that the "rivalry" splashed across every headline is actually the deepest love either man has ever felt. When Montreal lifts the Cup without Ilya anywhere near the celebration, Caitlin watches the cost settle over someone she's come to love like family — forced to watch the biggest night of his partner's career from a couch, hidden in plain sight.
A story about loving someone the world isn't ready for, and the family that holds you together while you wait for it to catch up.
