    Summary

    Sitting at the table was Sid: Sid as Zhenya had first known him, almost a decade before: dorky, long-haired Sid, his cheeks round with baby fat. He couldn’t have been older than twenty, and even that was generous.

    “Wow,” baby Sid said. “Are you Evgeni Malkin?”

    Summary

    Zhenya nods, mesmerized by the way he talks, his mouth rounding out the vowels until they are more pronounced than Zhenya has ever heard them in English classes. “You name?” The words spill out before he can stop them, and he knows he has misspoken as soon as the boy’s face scrunches up in confusion. He would be embarrassed, but he is too distracted by the cute wrinkle of his nose.

    “My name?”

    Zhenya nods.

    “Sidney,” he says. “Uh, Sidney Crosby.”

    Summary

    He was just a kid, just like Sidney, and far away from home. When Sidney didn’t look away, Evgeni mimed swinging a baseball bat, and Gonch was right; it was clear he had no idea what he was doing.

    That was the first time Sidney thought they could maybe be friends.
