   Summary

   Before they were hockey’s greatest rivals, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were two fourteen-year-olds arguing anonymously on the internet.

   One conversation became another, and suddenly they were talking every day. English lessons lead to game-tape analysis, late-night messages, phone calls, and secrets neither of them could tell anyone else. They become best friends. Then something more.

   By the time they finally meet, the world has already decided they should be enemies. The hockey world will spend years watching them fight from opposite sides of the ice, never knowing they have been choosing each other since long before either of them was famous.

   Or: Shane corrects Ilya’s English, Ilya teaches Shane how to want things, and they spend the next decade turning their rivalry into a shared home.
