Summary
“When did you start feeling like this? Did it come out of nowhere or you think something happened?” she asks.
“It started in Detroit in December, last year. I do not remember it from games in Vancouver and Edmonton before that.”

The picture swirls in front of him like vibrant water colours splashing on a canvas. Cliff beckons him over to where he and Victor are perched on their bikes, and Victor holds his phone out to him. The headline is clear: Is Rose Landry dating MLH star Shane Hollander?
A pit forms in Ilya’s stomach, cramping uncomfortably as if carved with a rusted knife, and distantly he recalls feeling the same way back in December.
There is no fucking way that’s been the problem.
