    Summary

    There's a difference between being looked at and being seen.
    Ilya has spent his whole career being looked at. On the ice. In press conferences. Across the width of a rivalry that had never been only rivalry.
    This is the first time he felt seen.

    Summary

    There was a plan. Front door code. A night that was supposed to be something.
    Then Marleau was already there and Shane turned a half-second too late and Ilya spent the night on a hotel room floor not knowing which hospital.
    Touch was their first language. He understands that now.

    Summary

    “Uh,” he says, looking up from his screen and feeling his ears go hot, realizing for the first time that this habit of his hasn’t actually come up before until this exact moment.

    “What?” Rozanov asks, sounding more amused than anything else. “You are one of the people who does Instagram for food now?”

    “No,” Shane says, stalling between answering and finishing his Snap so he can send it to Melissa, “one sec.” He finishes typing out 'Tuna melt. Chips. Pickles. It smells really good. Swiss cheese, I think.' before he looks back to Rozanov, putting his phone facedown on the coffee table. “Just sending it to someone on the staff. She likes knowing what I’m eating.”

    He doesn’t know if Melissa likes knowing what he’s eating, per se, but she also seems pleased when he talks about enjoying food for things beyond how many grams of protein it has in it.

    “Ah,” Rozanov says, in a tone Shane can’t quite read. “You always send her your food then, this girl?”

    (shane has a habit of sending his team's dietician his meals for approval) (the problem with this habit? he forgets to tell ilya exactly what it is that melissa does) (how the tuna meltdown is AVERTED through the power of miscommunication)

    Summary

    The first note was recorded at 2:13 a.m. in a Boston kitchen, three nights after Las Vegas. Ilya told himself it was a one-time thing.
    He made a second one the next evening.
    This is the archive of everything Ilya Rozanov said to Shane Hollander in a language Shane doesn't speak, in files Shane was never supposed to hear... and what happens when one of them finally gets sent.
