   Summary

   What is he waiting for?
   It definitely seems like he's looking for somebody in particular.
   Well, I think we all know who.

   Shane Hollander takes his job very seriously.
   And if that job happens to be waiting tables, you bet he's going to be the best damn waiter you've ever seen.
   There is absolutely nothing that can throw him off when he is in his element.
   Nothing.

   Well, except...

   Or a story in which Shane Hollander does not become a professional hockey player, maybe he never will, and instead is working as a waiter in a restaurant in Ottawa while in college.
   Meanwhile Ilya Rozanov sadly never found hockey, but fate would have it he would wind up in Canada anyway.
   Working as a chef. In a restaurant. In Ottawa. Yes that restaurant.
