    Summary

    Scott doesn’t often get stopped in his tracks by guys he sees. He doesn’t really ever get that birds-dancing-round-his-head, sweet-chorus-of-angels, crepuscular-rays-alighting-on-the-earth knockabout, or hasn’t really since Mike Johansson transferred into St Thomas in senior year of high school and he had, for the first time in his life, fallen in love. Unrequited, but still. That was fifteen years ago. He’s been in love since then, but he hasn’t been blindsided in a while. He’d forgotten how it feels.

    Summary

    All the same, Kip asks, “Never? There’s never been some secret fantasy you’ve acted out with someone? Locker room, Olympic stadium…”

    Kip is uniquely positioned to make Scott’s fantasy come true. Backwards cap and all.

    Summary

    He had done the arithmetic at fourteen and believed the answer ever since: a man who wanted nothing could lose nothing.

    He'd arrived at it honestly. His parents had coached—juniors, the cold-rink end of it, nothing glamorous—and they had loved him the ordinary, total way parents do, the way you never think to be grateful for because you assume it is simply the weather you live in. Then a drunk driver on an ordinary road took the weather away entirely, and for two years afterward Scott belonged to no one, which is a thing that happens to a boy and then never quite stops happening.

    Or:
    The one where fourteen-year-old Scott promises himself he'll never fall in love. And he keeps that promise... until he meets the one person who becomes his only exception.

    Summary

    The absolute worst part about flying was the landing. Not the jarring, rubber-burning impact of the tires hitting the tarmac, but the dreadful, irrevocable finality of the seatbelt sign chiming off.

    It was the sound of the spell breaking.

    For five and a half hours, suspended thirty thousand feet above the continental United States, Kip Grady hadn’t been America’s Golden Boy. He hadn’t been the tragic, broken figure skater who collapsed on global television, and he certainly hadn't been the PR nightmare currently giving US Figure Skating executives an ulcer. For five and a half hours, he had just been a nineteen-year-old guy, tucked into the dim, pressurized cabin of a Boeing 757, safely anchored by the heavy, radiating body heat of the man sitting next to him.

    Or:
    The one where Scott and Kip return to New York and learn that sometimes it isn’t easy to keep promises.

    Summary

    Five times Scott and Kip can't stay apart from one another, and one time they don't need to. Three years of distance, pining, and chance encounters stretch between the night Kip leaves Scott's apartment and the moment they kiss on the ice in front of the entire world.
