Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.
-
Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.- Language:

Summary
Shane and Ilya leave the cottage as boyfriends in love, but never discuss what that means for them. Are they exclusive? Shane wonders. A lot of gay couples aren't, even without the added complication of Ilya also liking women. Shane believes Ilya would never be satisfied with just one person, especially not when they are hundreds of miles apart for most of the time. Ilya loves him, that had to be enough.
Then Ilya asks of him the most intimate thing, Shane had to say yes, to be a first for Ilya when Ilya was so many of his firsts. But that also leaves Shane terrified, because he firmly believed Ilya still slept with other people, and Shane just let go of the last layer of protection literally and figuratively.- Language:

Summary
Here are some facts:
Six months ago, Ilya and Shane sat on Ilyas’ couch, in Boston, and said, we want to be more, even if it has to be in secret.
Four months ago, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander bought new houses. If asked, they would both say it was a complete coincidence. They were not asked, because most people do not browse Zillow for fun in their free time (Shane-) and the real estate of hockey players was of very limited interest to even the most hardcore fan.
Two hours ago, Shane Hollander was bleeding out on the ice.
Yuna and David Hollander were at least three hours away, at the exact moment their son hit the ice. Yuna Hollander is a perceptive woman. If she enters the house, she will know her son does not live alone.
Here is the most important fact Ilya knows right now: Shane would not want to come out to his parents like this.
Ilya has one hour to wipe his existence from his boyfriends’ house.
