    Summary

    The Centaurs were improving but not shining. Shane watched Ilya stress out even as he got to count his wins. The media pointed out how far off he was from where he was from where he had been the season before. Ilya smiled but said, “We are not talking about last year’s Ilya. We’re not talking about the Raiders’ Ilya. The Centaurs are coming from another place. So, let’s talk about where we are this season. Last year is done. Different team, different country.”

    Shane thought everything was on track. At least Ilya’s sponsorships were picking up speed. When he watched ESPN or the MLH Channel, every fourth ad was either his or Ilya’s. The hottest one was his Diesel ad, where he was just lazily stretching in different tank tops.

    But Ilya got a call from Russia that left him shaken. Shane was in Ottawa and could only hear one half of the conversation. Ilya was talking fast, so Shane had a hard time following it. He gathered that Ilya’s dad had gone outside without his shoes in the snow. He recognized the words for hospital and doctor, but there were words he didn’t know.

    Ilya settles into his new life in Canada. But the death of his father sends him back to Russia.

    Summary

    Ilya had been invited over alone to the Hollander’s cottage. It was nerve-racking to be alone with her. But Yuna was his agent. It was her literal job to be nice to him.

    Handing over a cup of coffee, she said, “Shane bans work talk from his cottage.”

    She settled onto the couch. She had a notepad along with her coffee. It made him think of his therapist back in Boston, reminded him that he would need to find one.

    She explained, “You boys have so little time off. But this year is a little weird because I’m stepping into the role of your manager. I gotta get things going for your sponsor deals.”

    The guys at the awards had joked that, with Yuna, he would get sponsors, but… “My old manager said no one likes a bad boy, and I was unmarketable. You really think I can get sponsors?”

    “No one likes a real bad boy. You chirp and have swagger. You don’t get arrested for drunk driving or hitting your wife. Kids’ brands love a squeaky-clean smile. But, what’s your favorite energy drink?”

    Ilya spends time with Yuna alone for the after moving to Canada. She takes over his portfolio. Some of his preferences surprise her.

    Summary

    Winning the Cup after the loss at the Olympics was euphoric. In the back of his mind, he knew that commentators would be talking about how he had ended a thirteen-year drought for the Raiders. They would also be talking about how the Metros were on year fifteen of a losing streak. Maybe next year would be Shane’s year.

    It wouldn’t be Ilya’s. He was waiting for his trade to go through. The media didn’t know it, but the management had a deal pending the last game of the season. They had all been sympathetic to Ilya when he had asked to be traded to Ottawa. But with their high chances for the Cup, they had held off. He was grateful. He wanted to win a Cup with Cliff. He wanted this for the Raiders. He spent their on-ice celebration twirling with babies, kissing WAGs.

    In the locker room, he was drenched in champagne, laughing, behaving poorly. But he grabbed his phone and saw the text from Shane, “I’m so proud. Have fun with your team tonight.”

    He texted back, “Congratulatory phone sex when I get home? I earned this.”

    “You earned it,” agreed Shane.

    What if Ilya winning the Cup and the MLH MVP of 2014 was a happy time for the couple?
