_____
Ilya’s mouth fell open a little. “It is 2017 Shane and your father has no idea I am here. I should hide.”
“No!” Shane reached out and took Ilya’s hand. “Wait, if you really think it’s 2017-”
“It is 2017, Shane,” Ilya interrupted him.
He’d forgotten what he was going to say because Shane’s left hand was suddenly in his field of vision. He stared at it, stunned. There was no ring on his finger. There wasn’t even that little tan line that was always there when he took it off. How had he not noticed it was gone? Shane always noticed when his ring wasn’t there. Could feel its absence acutely, whenever he had to take it off which was almost never.
“Ilya when did we first say ‘I love you’ to each other?” Shane asked slowly.
“Yesterday,” Ilya replied. “What is going on Shane?”
Shane sank to his knees on the dock, his head in his hands. They weren't married. His parents didn't even know about Ilya yet. They were still rival hockey players who lived in different countries and Shane felt like his heart was breaking.
OR
Married, happy Shane from 2022 travels back in time to his and Ilya’s first summer at the cottage.
