    Summary

    When you meet your soulmate, everything else is supposed to pale in comparison, subtle enough that you’ll think to yourself maybe, just maybe, something is going on. A buzz, they say, will spread under your skin, only to be soothed by the next time you touch your soulmate. It’s a little bit of an odd system, but it works; people usually reconnect with their soulmate within a few weeks of meeting them for the first time. Who wouldn’t want to be with someone that completes the other half of their soul? Who would deny themselves a kiss that feels better than anyone else’s?

    There were legends, of course, tall tales of denying a bond for so long that it became intense, two lovers denying themselves the confirmation of being soulmates that the bond had crackled and fizzed, forcing them into states of fervor and need so deep it boiled down to love in its deepest, most obsessive, possessive form. It created many movies and stories, theories on what could happen, but no one would ever be so stubborn and idiotic as to deny themselves to test it.

    Summary

    “This hot tub has not been well maintained,” Rozanov complained as they stood on the deck, staring at the built-in hot tub, big enough to fit 8 people. 

    “So, you can replace it,” Shane replied patiently.

    “I will be too busy to replace the hot tub. Then I will have a long day, and I will decide to have a soak in my rancid hot tub, and then I will catch diphtheria and die.” Rozanov looked at Shane, accusatory. “You want me to die?”

    Shane looked down. The hot tub looked no more or less rancid than any other hot tub. “I don’t think you can get diphtheria from a dirty hot tub.”

    “You are doctor now?” Rozanov asked, and Shane stayed silent. 

    Shane Hollander is a realtor who works with the Ottawa Centaurs to find properties for new players.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    Summary

    “Uh, actually,” Shane says. He clears his throat, picks at something on his shirt. “Actually, I’m…”

    “Daddyyyyyy! Make Ruby stop pushing me! Daddyyy!”

    “I’m, um…” Shane says.

    Hayden thinks maybe he can’t hear Shane over the girls screaming, because he keeps missing the rest of that sentence. “What?”

    “I’m gay,” Shane spits out. “So.”

    Shane comes out, first to his best friend, and then, in the first regular game of the 2017-2018 season, to the rest of his team.

    Summary


    “If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”

    “Why not? What if that’s my answer?”

    “Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”

    “Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”

    Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”

    “And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”

    “Yes, other than that.”

    “I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”

     


     
    Ilya reads an article about 36 questions that are supposed to make people fall in love. He decides to ask Shane.
