    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    Summary

    “You look nice too,” he continues.  “I like the hat.”

    “I hate the hat,” she replies flatly, rolling her eyes.

    He resists the urge to reach out and adjust its angle on her head.  He would have done, before, in the years when they were constantly toeing the line between friendly banter and outright flirting.  But those years are long gone, so he just says, a little teasingly, “Still can’t take a compliment, can you?”

    “Ha.  Can’t teach an old dog new tricks and all that.  I’m bad at fancy events.”

    “I know.”

    “Fish out of water.”

    “A lot of animal metaphors going on here.”

    She laughs.  He thinks again that he’s missed making her laugh.  He’s missed her.
