    Summary

    Ilya knows it’s a bad idea. Of course it is. But everything he’s ever done in regards to Shane Hollander has been a bad idea.

    So he sends the text, even though they’re playing against each other in just a few hours. Even though it’s reckless, and it’s breaking all their rules. Even though he’s supposed to be rebuilding the distance that Tampa tore down, instead of letting it shrink even further.

    But he just can’t seem to help himself.

    Summary

    “You know, one day you’re gonna meet someone you love so much you’ll want to toss all your stupid rules out the window just to be around them,” Jessica told him the day they broke up.

    God, Shane remembers thinking. I fucking hope not.

    Summary

    One year.

    It's not so long when Ilya thinks about it, not when they've spent almost ten the way they have.

    One year, and Boston will be in the rear-view and his future with Shane will be within reach. He's a patient man. How long can a year feel, really?

    Summary

    "Shane, honey, thank god. We were out walking and saw the ambulance leaving your driveway. I've been calling everywhere trying to find out if you're in the hospital. Is everything okay?"

    "Yeah, mom. It wasn't me. It was, um... I had a friend up with me, and he's... uh, in surgery. Launadiere. His appendix."

    Shane takes a shaky breath, realizing there's no way he can keep his mom from hearing him cry at this point. His nerves are absolutely shot, he doesn't know if he needs a shot of espresso or vodka. God, Ilya's screams... He couldn't stop thinking about it.

    "You had a friend with you on your silent retreat?"

    Fuck it.

    "Yeah, it was a romantic thing. Kind of ruined by the whole ambulance ride and surgery."

    "Shane, you're seeing someone?"

    Fuck it all.

    "Yeah. Yeah, his name is Ilya Rozanov."

    The trip to the cottage is cut short when Ilya's appendix decides to ruin everything. Shane comes out to his parents in a very different way. Ilya starts to realize he can't be the one taking care of everyone else all the time.

    Summary

    And suddenly, filling his entire screen, Rozanov was grinning into the camera with a row of bloody teeth. His lip was split. When he wiped his mouth with the back of his bare hand, it came away streaked with red. He spat the rest onto the ice with an awful smile and a wink before getting to his feet.


    Jane: Can you stay in the dressing room?

    Lily: Are you asking or telling?

    Jane: You hate being told what to do.

    Lily: Not when it's you

    Jane: Stay.

    Jane: You looked really fucking good taking that hit.
