    Summary

    He’s not alone—hardly ever is, in Boston.

    But maybe, just maybe, he’s lonely.

    It sneaks up on him in stupid moments: standing in line at the bank, catching a ride with Connors after practice, because he doesn’t have a car yet. Lying awake at night with the low hum of traffic outside and the wrong kind of silence pressing in around him.

    In his rookie year, Ilya makes an anonymous online friend. Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea.

    Summary

    Ilya died, yes, but then the doctors saved him. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, three electric shocks, two emergency surgeries, twenty-six units of blood. Ilya died, but then he came back.

    If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.

    Summary

    “Do you think if you were out, years ago, when we met, this,” he points back and forth between them. “You and I would have– I don’t know. Ended before, I guess. And then you would have tried to find a nice man in Montreal?”

    David's question has been lingering in the back of Ilya's mind. He asks, Shane answers.

    “Yes. I do. Don’t I?”
