Summary
“Shane had been used to being alone. He'd never thought of himself as lonely. He honestly often craved the solitude, found it grounding. But that was before he knew what it was like to have someone to call, someone to touch. He was never lonely before Rozanov, but he'd been lonely ever since.”
April 2017: Shane does not get laid out on the ice.
Ilya goes through with ending it.
Shane lets him.
What follows is eleven months of distance, denial, and a quiet kind of devastation neither of them knows how to name, let alone fix.
They learn how to live without each other.
(Or at least, how to pretend.)
And then, almost a year later, the infamous collision happens and Shane goes down cold.
And suddenly, neither of them can pretend it doesn’t matter.

Summary
Ilya is… well, Ilya.
Everyone in the hockey world knows him.
The Russian menace. Killer on ice, even worse on sight.
Their friends and family know more than others.
The best captain. Perceptive, funny, a hidden softie.
But Shane knows him most.
Which kills him sometimes, because people so wildly underestimate just how good his husband actually is. He gets that it’s all jokes, harmless chirping, and Ilya also doesn’t care. But it starts getting annoying when people talk like Shane could “do better.”
Better than Ilya? The ILYA? He wants to scream in their faces.
But Shance can’t, so he’s going to scream into the void instead. Except somehow this void grows to 2 million followers in a week, and Shane has never been good at being subtle.

Summary
“Your husband is just as possessive as you, Ilya,” Sasha says in Russian once again. “It’s fucking hot. Sveta can’t seduce him, but maybe I can. We could share for old times’ sake.”
“I don’t share my husband with anyone, ever, asshole,” Shane cuts him off, also in Russian, rage at the man’s audacity bleeding into his tone.
*
Shane and Ilya run into Sasha at Svetlana’s birthday celebration, and it goes about as well as expected.
