    Summary

    “It is the worst day of my life,” Ilya declares, throwing himself dramatically onto one of the kitchen stools. “I went to go get lunch at Russian place I like, the one with lamb pelmeni? They had sign on the door. They are closing. Forever.”

    -

    Or: Ilya’s favorite Russian restaurant in Ottawa is going out of business. There is only one thing Shane “Mr. Real Estate” Hollander can do.

    Summary

    When Ilya is asked a simple question for a team Q&A he finds himself spiraling.

    "What’s your favorite word or sentence in English?"

    English was never something he loved. It was something he learned to survive, to leave, to play hockey at the highest level. It brought embarrassment, ridicule, and the constant feeling of being reduced.

    But it also brought Shane.

    Summary

    His chain broke. His crucifix—his mother’s crucifix—is missing.

    Shane would bet good money that Ilya’d rather have his jaw broken and three teeth knocked out than lose that necklace.
