    Summary

    The woman had her hair tucked under a knit hat, and her eyes were actually kind.

    "You are cold," she said.

    "I'm fine," Shane said. His teeth betrayed him with a chatter.

    She unwound her scarf from her own neck and wrapped it around his.

    Eight-year-old Shane goes to a hockey camp in Moscow, becomes a victim to language barrier, and gets rescued by a woman who gives him her scarf and tells him snow angels are real.

    Eighteen years later, Ilya finds out his mother had already met the love of his life.
