    Summary

    “I could marry Svetlana,” Ilya says in one breath, like the sentence bores him with its mundanity.

    Shane feels like he’s been pushed from a cliff, left to fall and break his bones, like the lungs just got ripped from his chest, like a bullet was shot on his shameful, stupid, desperate heart.

    He likes her. She makes him happy. In the rare times he said her name in Shane's presence, it brought a smile soft as cotton on the Russian’s face.

    She was there first. She's a woman. She's perfect for Ilya, his lifestyle, and his career. Why would he bother himself trying something more with Shane? Why, when he could have that more with someone who would be so much less complicated?

     

    _______

    Or Shane thinks his love has to be selfish for it to have any worth. Ilya disagrees but that man is circling around the subject from so far away it might as well be from space.

    Summary

    Something both Shane and Ilya understood about hockey, that many other players didn’t, was that what separated good players from the greats was the ability and willingness to plan and engage in psychological warfare.

    Shane and Ilya went about it in different ways but that didn’t change the fundamental truth: to be the best hockey player was to be ruthless.
