   Summary

   Ilya was standing in the doorway, looking concerned.

   Shane shook his head slowly. “You shouldn’t skip practice.”

   “What?” He sounded bewildered.

   Shane forced his eyes up to meet his. “You shouldn’t bail out on your team just because I’m here… It’s not right, I don’t –”

   “Shane,” Ilya cut him off, “What are you talking about? There is no bailing out. Is only one practice.”

   The Talk that Shane and Ilya never got around to having in The Long Game. Set during the morning after the proposal.
