    Summary

    Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.

    In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.

    But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

    Summary

    "I'll see you later then," Ruby says, releasing his hand. She involuntarily flexes her fingers as she drops her arm by her side.

    James follows the movement.

    "Have dinner with me tonight," he says, glancing back at her. "There's an old pub in Pemwick where the boys and I go sometimes for a drink or two." Ruby raises one eyebrow and James smirks. "Or maybe more than two. But the food is great and it's never too busy. I have something to do after school, but Percy can pick you up at 7.30?"

    Ruby hesitates only a beat. “It's a date."

    -

    After the party at Cyril's house, Ruby and James are dating. Sequel to Like a Moth to a Flame.

    Summary

    He doesn't pick up at the first call. Of course. She sighs, annoyed, and calls a second time, her foot tapping on the floor of the kitchen: one ring, two, three and then he finally picks up. The voice on the other side, though, isn't Gihun's.
    "Hello?" asks a woman, her voice still heavy with sleep. Eunji blinks, shocked; she looks at the screen of her phone to make sure that she called the right number and she did. Then what-

     

    Eunji ex's husband, Seong Gihun, might have gotten himself into some mess after staying out of trouble for years and having turn his life around. Eunji, for the sake of their daughter (and to satisfy her curiosity), decides to investigate who Gihun's new girlfriend is and if she's bad news - which she might be, since she has a husband apparently. Husband that seems to know Gihun quite well...
