    Summary

    If he were sober, he might have recognized how catastrophically bad this idea was. That the roulette ball was not a sign, that they’d been playing for over an hour and it was bound to land on twenty-four eventually. But there was a buzzing warmth flooding his veins and a very loose grip on his rationality, so he headed away from the bar, through the lobby, and out onto the balmy Vegas strip. He leaned against a shadowed wall and scrolled to a contact he’d hovered over a thousand times before.

    This time, he called.

    Or: Five years after Rose helped Shane come to terms with his sexuality, he’s done everything else on his own. Coming out, surviving the backlash, being traded to Ottawa. When the dust finally settles, Shane meets a nice guy from Montreal and tells himself he’s ready to move on. He’s definitely not thinking about Ilya. Or Ilya’s gorgeous Russian wife. Not at all.

    Summary

    Ilya might never step foot in Russia ever again. Might never walk the streets that watched him grow up or hear his native language roll off the tongues of everyone around him. Might never get another chance to visit his mother’s grave until the day his bones are laid to rest beside hers.

    Russia used to be home, where he thought he felt the most like himself.

    But now?

    Ilya knows, as Shane holds his gaze with stars in his eyes and those beautiful freckles gleaming in the sunlight, that his home will always be right here in front of him.

    * * *

    Back at the cottage after coming clean about their newfound relationship, Shane starts to feel guilty for making Ilya choose between him and the only home he’s ever known. For Ilya, though, it was never really much of a choice at all.

    (Or, Shane learns how to make Ilya’s favorite childhood meal, and Ilya has a lot of feelings about it.)
