    Summary

    Harris: Hi, Shane!
    Harris: This is Harris Drover.
    Harris: I got your number from Ilya.
    Harris: Sorry to bother you, but I had a question.
    Harris: I know you’re coming in to sign contracts tomorrow, and I had an idea for a social media thing to announce your signing, if you’d be up for it?

    Shane: Oh, yeah, okay.
    Shane: I’ll be there, so we can do whatever.
    Shane: Always happy to help the team with a little internet humiliation that’ll be around for decades.

    Harris: Perfect!
    Harris: I promise, I think you’ll really like this, though.
    Harris: No humiliation involved.
    Harris: The only caveat is, you can’t tell Ilya.

    Shane: Okay?
    Shane: Why?

    Harris: Well.
    Harris: Here’s what I’m thinking.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Weather. I’ll send you mine. You send me yours.

    He has to stop at that one for a second. He has to look at the lake, at the two ducks who have drifted back and are now sitting on the water like small, judgmental boats, and he has to breathe carefully through his nose for a moment.

    Shane Hollander, who schedules calls with his parents and circles his game days, wants to send Ilya weather reports.

    The most romantic thing anyone has ever done for Ilya Rozanov is a fucking weather report.

    Summary

    JULY 2010.
    In the original story, it lasted less than three seconds.
    The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. A woman stepped forward.
    "I am…"
    The doors closed.
    Ilya Rozanov never learned what Shane Hollander's mother wanted to say.
    He rode to the fourteenth floor, unaware that he had narrowly escaped one of the most awkward conversations of his life.
    But what if the doors had stayed open?
    What if Yuna Hollander had introduced herself?
    What if, instead of letting the elevator leave, she had stepped inside?
    And what if she had decided that going downstairs could wait?
    Suddenly, Ilya's carefully planned trip to room 1410 becomes a nightmare of polite small talk, uncomfortable questions, and increasingly desperate attempts to look normal while talking to the completely unsuspecting mother of the boy he's secretly hurrying to meet.

    "And tell Shane I said hello."

    Ilya nearly suffered cardiac arrest.

    Summary

    All Ilya Rozanov has ever wanted to do is dance with Shane Hollander in a nightclub.

    So, naturally, he plots and orchestrates a twelve-hour truce between Boston and Montreal to make it happen. It's the perfect cover... assuming they can actually blend in and not get caught.

    But between their instinctual domesticity and a very drunk, clingy Shane, staying under the radar is a lot harder than it looks. Especially when Cliff Marleau is sitting right across the table.

    (or, Cliff puts the pieces together when Shane gets wasted, Ilya's boyfriend mode is too obvious, and he catches them sexy dancing in the club.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “My boy pulled the hottest guy in the NHL!” Cliff exclaimed. “Fucking ten!”

    He let Shane down and slapped Ilya on the back in a congratulatory aggressiveness.

    Ilya looked at Cliff, stunned, a massive smile enveloping his face. He was right. He landed Shane Hollander.

    “Elite work, Rozy. You look great whipped.”

    Oh, this is embarrassing.”

    Ilya frowned.

    “What now?”

    “You bought a Rolex?”

    “It is watch.”

    “It’s a Shane Hollander watch.”

    Across the neighbouring table Shane nearly inhaled sparkling water wrong.
