    Summary

    Hayden wasn’t the type to invade someone’s privacy, but seeing Shane reduced to a ghost was wearing him down. He picked up the phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he searched for the contact “Lily.” The phone rang once, twice, three times.

    Then, the line clicked. But there was no "Hello?"

    “This is Ilya. I never check my voicemail.”

    Hayden pulled the phone away from his ear, staring at the screen as if it had just exploded. The name still read Lily. But the voice… the voice was low, gravelly, with that Russian accent he’d been hearing scream across the ice for years.

    “Rozanov?” Hayden whispered. “What the hell…”

    Summary

      "You'd tell me." Hayden says. It's a question and a statement.

      "I'd tell you." Shane agrees. He is just now noticing that somebody has draw a little moon in purple crayon on the baseboard by the front door.

      "But you didn't tell me for eight years." There's no malice in Hayden's voice. No accusation. Shane drags his eyes up to meet his friend's. They're blue, but not like Ilya's. Cornflower instead of jewel toned. The same, steady blue in every light.

      "No, I didn't. I couldn't even tell myself. I'm telling you now." They keep standing in the little entryway between the door and the stairs. One of Jackie's boots is sideways across the tiled entrance. The nose of a toy race car peeks out of it.

    Summary

    Pride Night was supposed to be the easy part.

    Then Dallas Kent showed up, Troy Barrett threw the first punch, Ilya Rozanov stopped the fight, and Ottawa won a game nobody felt much like celebrating.

    By morning, Dallas was in custody, Ilya was in hospital, and the internet had decided everyone knew exactly what had happened.

    A week later, injured, furious, and barely holding himself together, Ilya tries to get back to hockey.

    Instead, he gets a camera.

    One soft question.

    One honest answer.

    “My boyfriend.”

    It is the truth.

    It is also the one thing he and Shane were supposed to choose together.
