    Summary

    The Boston Bears group chat had sixty-three new messages in the span of three minutes.

    His coffee forgotten, Ilya swiped open the chat, scrolling quickly to find the source of the commotion. A link to The Athletic, posted by Jensen, their captain, followed by a string of exclamation points. Ilya tapped it, the headline materializing on his screen like a blow to the chest:

    BREAKING: MONTREAL VOYAGEURS’ SECOND DRAFT SHANE HOLLANDER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

    Ilya's pulse jumped, hard and sudden in his throat. The mug slipped from his hand, not falling but landing too heavily on the counter, coffee slopping over the rim. He set it down properly, his movements mechanical, and forced himself to read the rest of the headline:

    20-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE OF THE YEAR STEPPING AWAY TO PURSUE HARVARD BUSINESS DEGREE

    Or

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire life living and breathing hockey. At twenty, at the height of his career, he makes an unthinkable choice: he walks away to discover who he is beyond the ice.

    But some things don’t stay behind.

    What happens when the rivalry between him and Rozanov ends, but the pull doesn’t?

    Summary

    “He’d probably wear a rash guard on the beach because too much sunlight would kill him.” Ilya murmured on their drive over the private resort. He had an obnoxious Hawaiian shirt on that shifted with every slight wind that came from the rolled down window.

    “You’d hate him for doing anything, it’s honestly impressive.” Sasha snorted in laughter. He really admired Ilya’s dedication to finding things to be annoyed about.

    “He makes it easy.” Ilya resorted to his default response.

    Five times Sasha meets his boyfriend’s work enemy, Shane Hollander, and the one time he meets his ex’s husband, who is also Shane Hollander.
