Summary
“Do you think you can love two people at once?” Shane asked his mom in a moment of weakness, when they were wrapping up a call about a prospective brand deal. He should have been on his laptop looking at numbers on spreadsheets and coordinating his calendar which was already so full he could tell you exactly what he would be doing half a year from now down to the half hour. Instead, he was laying on his bed with his phone pressed up against his ear and his eyes closed counting imaginary stars in a bright night sky. He should go to sleep soon.
Or, Shane embarks on casual sex with yet another Russian.

Bookmarker's Notes
Shane thought about Alex at practice and during meals and at games when he should be focusing on any number of other things. He thought about Ilya, too, but he was expected to think about Ilya all the time. People always brought Ilya up around Shane, so he didn’t think it was odd how often he thought of him. No one ever mentioned Alex, no one even knew he existed, but still he thought about him.
Had he slept with Alex because he was Russian? Because his accent made Shane think of Ilya? So maybe it was all just about Ilya after all and Alex was a poor imitation to tide him over in the months between Boston games, but that wasn’t true either. Probably it hadn’t been true for longer than an hour the first time they slept together because Alex wasn’t like Ilya, really, except that they were both from Moscow and they were both startlingly kind during sex in a way no other man or woman he had been with ever was. Kind in such a specific way that now when he had sex with one, it always made him think of the other. Shane would choke himself on Alex’s cock and Alex would pull back until he could breathe better and say to be careful and pet his hair.
His whole head felt strange and echoey like he’d just taken a hard hit and he was reorienting himself to which way was up. He felt full up with things he couldn’t say and trapped in some complicated web of his own making where he couldn’t ever tell anyone the whole truth. The truth was so complicated now that he didn’t even know what the whole truth was anymore.

Summary
Yuna Hollander knows that it is normal for children to distance themselves from their parents as they approach adulthood. She expected it when Shane was a teenager, when he moved to Kingston for juniors, even later, when he moved to Montreal. When they stayed close, when he seemed happy to see them at his games, to have her managing his career, when he seemed not only to love them, but to still like having them around… When he invited her for dinner with his boyfriend and the four of them laughed until the summer sun dropped below the lake, she thought maybe this was one challenge of parenthood she would be spared. Which makes the day it finally happens all the harder to bear.
Or, Yuna Hollander and the joy and anguish of growing up.

Summary
Why are you here; why are we here? Ilya kisses the girl in front of him. The kiss lasts seventeen seconds, Shane counts, what are we doing? Ilya is dragging the tender, ugly parts of them out here for everyone to see. Seventeen seconds, or at least until Rose leans in and Shane insistently presses his mouth on hers to remind himself of what he wants.
The kiss breaks. Shane has to leave, his body lurching. When he meets Ilya's eyes, he sees the gesture for what it really is: a reminder of his place.
or; Shane tries. He really does.
