Summary
Shane ran with a fury – channeling every ounce of shame, anger, hurt, and disdain he possessed. He ran with a purpose: to catalogue every misstep and maintain his stamina.
Each time he replayed the interaction or thought of Ilya alone again in his cottage, he bit down harder on his lip and ran faster, feet slamming against the trail.
A guttural cry pierced the air as Shane fell to the ground, the dense dirt leaving burn marks on the skin of his elbows. For one terrifying second, his vision went white, his lungs forgot how to expand, and he lay motionless, face pressed into the earth.
He thought of the fight he’d had with Ilya, his own voice echoing in his head: “This is who I am. You know that. I give everything I have to hockey.”
He was Shane Hollander: the best player in the MLH; he was fine, he told himself – he didn't need Ilya.
It was a lie.
