   Summary

   One crowded gala. Two jersey numbers. A complete recipe for disaster.

   The Harvard Winter Sports Gala was supposed to be another night of mingling with stuffy old men in suits, convincing them to open up their deep pockets and cut fat checks for the program- until Ilya meets a beautiful volleyball player with a sparkly #24 brooch pinned to her dress. Before catching her name, a teammate's brawl calls him away, leaving him to scrawl a quick note on a napkin.

   Enter the mix up: a drunk rookie accidentally delivers the napkin to Shane- who remembers the girl from earlier that knocked over his drink and bought him a new one was wearing a sparkly #81.

   Encouraged by his best friends, Shane reaches out through the athletics email directory to keep the spark alive, but his email ends up in Ilya's inbox instead.

   What ensues is an unbelievably beautiful connection, late night confessions of close held secrets, and genuine sparks flying. But will their connection survive once the truth comes to light?
