   Summary

   “I’m fine- this happens sometimes.”

   “It shouldn’t.”

   “Well it does.” Shane raised his voice slightly, “It has for as long as I can remember.” He took a deep breath and reminded himself that he couldn’t be angry at Hayden right now, he was trying to help.
   ~

   Hayden Pike has Shane's back from day one, on and off the ice. That includes when Shane has one hell of a panic attack at an awards dinner.

   Part one of an exploration of Shane's anxiety in his relationships with others.
