    "He knew that in the grand scheme of things, three weeks was nothing. It was a blip, genuinely inconsequential. Barely enough time to learn the shape of another person, let alone miss them.

    --
    Between the World Junior Championship and the NHL Draft, all of the top prospects are sent to a three week development camp.

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov end up sharing a room. For a brief moment, they find something in each other neither of them expected.

    Then Ilya vanishes from their cabin without explanation.

    Years pass. They are drafted to opposite conferences. Their careers take off. Their lives move on.

    But some things never quite stay buried. When a trade brings Ilya to Boston, the almost they've spent years outrunning is, suddenly, standing directly in front of them.
