Summary
He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.
He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.
Shane is making space for Ilya.

Summary
“We pride ourselves on being a supportive, tight-knit community here, Mr. Claremont-Diaz,” Srivastava says placidly, “which, conversely, really narrowed down our choices for part one of your research experience.”
“And what might that be?” Alex asks.
Srivastava’s head tilts, eyes slanting between he and Henry with as close to what he ever probably gets to modestly contained glee. “Enemies to lovers, of course.”
or, with both promotions and sanity on the line, henry and alex are tasked with being the test subjects for a social experiment in which popular romance tropes are put to the test. it works, and then it doesn't, and for however many books alex has erroneously judged by their covers, this one might just be worth getting lost in enough to keep.

Summary
The snow smells different here.
It’s the first thing Ilya thinks when he exits the airport terminal onto the street, the flakes falling thick and heavy from the late evening sky. Is the altitude different from Boston? The temperature? The pollutants? Maybe it’s the cigarettes—he can pick up the distinct smoky vanilla of Chapmans from the guy on the corner, harder to get in the US, and his fingers itch to light up something himself. Whatever it is, he hasn’t smelled it in years.
Ever since Sochi, he’d only had summers in Russia.
After his father's death, Ilya returns to Moscow to pick up the pieces of what's left of his family, only to find that his grief encompasses more than he ever expected. A look into Ilya, Russia, and the inexplicable meaning of home.

Summary
It’s not that he’s not thrilled for his best friend, or doesn’t want to be part of his big day. Henry wouldn’t miss Pez’s wedding for the world, and it’s going to be a wonderful day. But these days, weddings mostly serve to remind Henry of how far away something like that is for him. He hasn’t had a serious boyfriend in years, and he’s not getting any younger.
It’s fine. It’s just one day, after all. He just has to focus on Pez, on being happy for him and Liam, and he’ll make it through.
(After traveling to Texas for his best friend's wedding, Henry makes some questionable decisions, meets a gorgeous and intriguing stranger, and ends up kissing said stranger beneath the starlit sky. It's not a bad day. But maybe not the one he intended to spend the rest of eternity in.)
