    Summary

    "What I'm missing in the daytime, I think my dreams are giving back to me. If that makes sense."

    "No," Hayden says finally. "Sorry. I don't get it."

    Shane is dreaming about someone he doesn't recognise. Shane is grieving something he doesn't know. Those two things are connected, somehow.

    Summary

    After his second Cup win, Shane had stared down the gaping maw of August stretched open before him and, for the first time, the thought of spending it fishing and birding at his cottage, alone, without anyone to make him a sandwich or press his head into the space beneath their chin, was unbearable.

    Thus, Los Angeles.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Moscow was ten hours ahead of Los Angeles, which Shane, once known, couldn’t un-know, and meant that around ten at night he would start feeling a light, buoyant sense of anticipation that a text from Rozanov might come in, just as he’d couldn’t un-know when he was still in Montreal that if he sent Rozanov, seven hours ahead, a text before bed, he would almost certainly wake up to a reply. People could power cities on the strength of Shane’s belief in the maybe-Rozanov text.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander doesn't understand why everyone thinks he and Ilya Rozanov hate each other. He's pretty sure that in all the years they've been playing in the league together, they've never even talked before.

    Well, he's kind of sure. He thinks he would remember. He would remember something about Rozanov, if it was really important.

    Right?
