    Summary

    Everyone knows Shane Hollander. Captain. Franchise player. Olympic silver medallist. The face of the NHL.

    Very few people know Shane.

    Cliff Marleau certainly didn't expect to become one of them after a chance encounter in a quiet hallway of a Vegas hotel. He'd only meant to make sure Shane Hollander was okay.

    He didn't expect the day to end with Hollander's phone number, or to spend the summer exchanging messages with the man. He certainly didn't expect to become the one person Shane actually wanted to hear from.

    Friendship was never part of the plan... but then neither was falling in love.

    (Or: Cliff finds Shane having a panic attack, helps him through it and then everything goes from there)
