Summary
"Now," the announcer says, "Let’s head over to the recap of Women’s Figure Skating, where the nineteen-year-old from the United States was able to snatch the gold in a stunning upset from the frontrunner, Russian Individual Neutral Athlete, eighteen-year-old Irina Rosanov.”
And there she is, in a pink rhinestoned costume, gargling water and spitting it out of perfectly painted lips. Hands on hips, taking deep breaths before skating out onto the ice.
Shane’s hand is immediately on the remote, moving to change the channel.
“It’s fine,” Ilya says, “Want to see.”
He tries not to keep track of her career, but when it's playing on the screen like this, it's hard to look away. She is the spitting image of his mother, curly blonde hair, lithe frame, piercing blue eyes. She is her namesake. And he doesn’t know her at all.

Or, Ilya's niece receives her trust fund. She comes looking for answers (and finds a home, while she's at it).

Summary
Ilya always loved watching his mother skate; even years after retiring from the competitive circuit, she floated across the ice like there was no gravity. He learned axles and salchows under her graceful guidance, and once he'd learned everything Irina had to teach him, she passed Ilya on to the professionals.
To move across the ice like it was effortless, fast but not aggressive, to throw himself through the air and pretend for a moment that nothing could bring him back to the ground; there was nothing like it.
Sometimes he thought if he jumped high enough, turned his body just right, he'd figure out a way to hang there, caught in the moment between gravity and air; maybe, just maybe, he could stay airborne, never to return home.
Sometimes he wonders if he could have found that height, if he could have saved her.
Irina Rozanova died on a cold Wednesday.
He'd found her lying there, cold hands curled around an empty bottle of pills.
He quit hockey the next day.
(Or: Ilya Rozanov is an Olympic figure skater. Shane Hollander is a professional hockey player. Somehow, they still figure it out.)

Summary
Shane Hollander’s life revolves around hockey to an almost concerning degree. The assumption by pretty much everyone who knows him is that Shane therefore has no time for love. Then they meet Liliya Rozanova, Russia’s darling figure skater and Hollander’s apparently long-time girlfriend. There’s something about this situation that isn’t quite right.
or - five times Shane introduces people his girlfriend, Liliya Rozanova, and the one time that everybody is introduced to Ilya Rozanov, his long-term boyfriend.
