    Summary

    She’s protective of Shane, is the thing. It feels sometimes like she’s known both him and Hayden her whole life. Like she’s grown up with Shane as her little brother and Hayden as his best friend. Some whirlwind coming-of-age story locked away in the attic with all the other books from her childhood she’ll show to the kids when they’re older. She thinks maybe she was too lonely growing up – thinks, sometimes, it’s why she was so happy when the twins were born, her Ruby only had to spend twenty-three minutes alone in this world. She thinks Shane was lonely, too. So, she’s filled the void with a hockey player as she is wont to do, and he’s filled that same void with her. She’s protective, is the point.

    So, when she unfolds the slip of paper and sees a string of digits and the name Lily, she knows exactly what she’s holding.

    Summary

    Shane’s hands rest on Ilya’s shoulders like they often do and he lets out a long breath. “I'm sorry. I don’t know why I -”

    “Shh. Is okay. Just don’t run away.” Ilya catches his gaze and holds it. “I don’t want you to go.”

    For the second time that day, Shane nods and quietly says, “Okay.”

    or, Shane stays at Ilya's house rather than running away.

    Summary

    “Hey, did you hear about Rozanov?”

    Shane’s head snaps up at the mention of the Boston captain, eyes locking with Hayden’s. His friend looks amused, motioning to his phone.

    “No, what about him?” Shane asks, trying to sound casual.

    “He got some girl’s name tattooed on his leg. Apparently he was out partying with his team after their win and got it done. An Instagram post is going viral about it.”

    or, Ilya gets a tattoo. Shane is very calm about it.

    Summary

    “But we have always kissed, we -”

    “I know.” Shane says, face blushing crimson. “But like I said, I don’t want to do that anymore. We can still see each other, because I like what we do, but we have to keep that part out of it. Please.”

    Ilya breathes in and out. He tries to be rational. Shane’s requesting that something change in their arrangement. It should be a simple answer. Yes. Of course. If that’s a boundary he wants to set, then Ilya should obey it.

    But the feeling of loss is so overwhelming he can barely stomach it.

    or, after Vegas, Shane doesn't let Ilya kiss him anymore when they hook up. Ilya doesn't take it very well.

    Summary

    Ilya flirts with danger with the kind of desperation of a man drowning clawing his way to the surface in search of air. He knows it'll catch up with him eventually. He just never imagined it would lead to this: getting traded as if dumped in the trash, like his career achievements, his blood sweat and tears and everything else he's given Boston, mean nothing at all.

    Or, when Ilya gets caught in a sex scandal with a man while trying to get over Hollander, he changes the trajectory of his life forever.
