Summary
“Do you want to?” Otabek’s lips barely move. The words are barely audible.
Somewhere, deep in Yuri’s stomach, there is some warm blossom of gratitude for Otabek. For how he doesn’t make Yuri feel like a child even though he’s a couple years older and acts like an old man sometimes; for how he is really, genuinely, so good. But on the surface, Yuri is still angry. “What?” he trains his face into a glare. “Are you scared?”
Or, Yuri is trying to stay focused on winning the Olympics and a game of spin-the-bottle upends his entire life.

Summary
The frost lingers this year. Life seems dull, frozen under a thick layer of ice. The streets are white, the sky is white, the buildings are white, and even the smoke is white. Otabek watches it vanish from the chimneys; all things are meant to slip away from him, as smoke would.
Life doesn't make sense to Otabek. He’s twenty-eight. He’s not okay. He screwed up. How can he find his way back when his whole world seems to have been washed away?
