Summary
Ilya glances at Shane, at the way the dying light is catching in his hair, refracting. At that spiderlily mouth, slightly open and curling coyly, two teeth peeked through the dark gap like an American Girl doll. At that shoulder, bare and pale and close enough to touch if Ilya just leaned forward, if he just reached out and took another liberty.
To touch another person is to say: I know you will die, and I am doing this anyway.
His mother used to say something like this. About painting.
Every portrait is an act of faith, Ilyushenka. Faith and futility both.

contrary to personal preference, ilya gets a roommate.

Summary
He’s not alone—hardly ever is, in Boston.
But maybe, just maybe, he’s lonely.
It sneaks up on him in stupid moments: standing in line at the bank, catching a ride with Connors after practice, because he doesn’t have a car yet. Lying awake at night with the low hum of traffic outside and the wrong kind of silence pressing in around him.
In his rookie year, Ilya makes an anonymous online friend. Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea.

Summary
Morals Clause: A contract provision that may be used in endorsement, spokesperson, and similar agreements to give the advertiser the right to terminate the deal, seek damages, or remove branding if the individual engages in actions bringing disrepute, scandal, or negative attention, protecting the brand's image and financial interests.
Yuna does her research—apparently, a morals clause is common, in contracts like this.
It bothers her, a little, how vague it is, but ultimately, she doesn’t see an issue with it—at least, not really.
Shane is many things, and she is so, so excited to see how much more he becomes… but, for all of the many things she imagines in his future, she doesn't think he's capable of doing anything that could be accurately described as scandalous.
She's wrong.

Summary
Buck's new place is too quiet so he starts listening to podcasts. One contains a poem that comes for him like a heat seeking missile.

Summary
It’s a flannel shirt, blue with tan plaid. Color still pretty good even if it’s older than Buck is. He knows that three of the buttons on the chest don’t match, and the elbows have worn so thin he worries every time he wears it one wrong move will have him tearing right through. Some moth holes here and there. And now: the whole front left side, starting under the pocket where the seam has made the fabric weak, a huge tear. It’s been sewn back together, in neat stitches that Buck immediately recognizes as Eddie’s hand, but the fabric warps and pulls along the line of them.
“Oh,” Buck says, out loud this time. “Bobby’s shirt.”
