Summary
They’ve gone years surviving on stolen moments, so now everything feels vibrant, wonderful, secure. It’s everything Ilya ever dreamed of and thought he could never have. Loving Shane openly, being loved loudly and publicly in return, is everything his heart ever wanted.
So Ilya doesn’t get jealous. He doesn’t need to.
Except that today Shane is out to lunch with Rose. He drove out to Montreal this morning, a place that now makes Ilya want to see red, so they could go shopping and catch up before going to one of the chic restaurants that Ilya never got to frequent with Shane when he lived there.
Or, Shane spends a day with Rose and Ilya is forced to recognize he isn't as unflappable as he thought.

Summary
“I think we need some rules for this year,” Shane admits. He knows it’s not fun or cool. It’s also the only way he’s going to be able to drive away from this ugly ass apartment and not have a panic attack.
“Like your rules for loading the dishwasher?” Ilya teases, his thumb rubbing a gentle circle on the apple of Shane’s cheek. “No, No you would want something more serious.”
Once Ilya told him he preferred to have hard conversations in person so that he could reach out and touch Shane. He said it was grounding and made him feel safe. Shane gets it. All of this is less scary when their knees are bumped together and Ilya’s hands are gently holding his head.
“More like some guardrails to make sure your first year in Ottawa is a success.” It’s a cop out. He wants rules to be sure that come next summer they are just like this with a few more memories thrown in for good measure.
Or: After a year of living in different countries Ilya has successfully been signed with the Ottawa Centaurs. Now both he and Shane have to learn to navigate what it's means when long distance doesn't involve plane rides and stolen nights while Ilya establishes roots in Shane's boring hometown.

Summary
Shane's entire life there has been some missing piece. When they were in his parents living room yesterday it was like a phantom limb had been brought home. The Hollander’s coach was always meant to seat another person, and that person was destined to be Ilya. At least that’s how it felt to Shane.
Now his parents are coming over for a proper dinner to get to know his boyfriend and there is something still nagging at the back of his mind.
“What did you and my dad talk about yesterday?” Shane asks, his thumb rubbing small circles against Ilya’s sunkissed thigh. “When I was outside with mom.”
Or, a missing Cottage Days dinner with the Hollanders after Shane comes out.

Summary
He trains endlessly. He’s young and cocksure. He will push his body as far as humanly possible for this team that has given him a chance at a life out from under his father’s thumb. By the time the pre-season starts he’s both exhausted and so drunk on the freedom of being on his own that he doesn’t know what to do with himself.
So when he’s out for his morning run and sees a man a few inches shorter than him with ink black hair and an athlete’s build he stumbles.
Hollander.
He wants to run to him, tap his shoulder and throw his arms around him. He wants to ask him if things in Montreal are also wonderful and confusing. And sure, maybe he would also like to know if sometimes he thinks of Ilya like how Ilya thinks of him in the middle of the night.
But then the man turns around and it’s just some guy in a Patriot’s shirt. Ilya resumes his jog at a punishing pace. Maybe if he runs far enough he can pretend he isn’t seeing things that are not there.
Or, five times Ilya sees Shane in other people and one time he knows he's real.

Summary
“You’ll text when you land, right?” Shane asks as he takes an exit ramp labeled Airport Departures.
“Yes. Promise.”
“And you’ll call tonight?” Shane’s throat works over the words, like he still doesn’t trust this new thing between them. Ilya thinks he understands. He also doesn’t know how to trust this love. How can he when it has been trapped in his own heart so long. Neither of them know what the next year will bring. There is so much time before Ilya can have his agent, or his future agent, he will need a new one with no connections to Russia, reach out to Ottawa and hope that they’ll be interested in a future Hall of Fame center. The one thing Ilya is certain of is that he will do everything in his power to make their plan work. He spent his entire adult life lusting after, and then pining for Shane with his whole heart.
“I will call.” Ilya reaches for the hand Shane has left on the gearshift and threads his fingers through his. He wants to say so much, but he has always been better with touch than words, especially when the only shared language was English. “We will talk every day.”
Or, There is a year before Ilya can sign with Ottawa, Shane counts down the days until their forever.
