    Summary

    “You go first,” Shane says. "With the vows."

    Ilya takes a deep breath, squeezes Shane’s hands in his. “Okay, okay, I will go first. But I have this problem.”

    “What? What problem?”

    “Is a terrible problem. You see, there is this hockey player.”

    Shane just stares and then, right there, Ilya can see the moment it registers. The recognition.

    A grin spreads across Ilya’s face. It's supposed to be a smirk but it isn’t. It's both too happy and too soft.

    “This slow fucking hockey player with beautiful freckles.” Shane is laughing now. Laughing and maybe starting to cry. Ilya lets it hang for a moment. “And a weak backhand.”

    “A weak backhand?” Shane knew it was coming and still he’s outraged.

    “Yes, very weak.”

    They’re both grinning, a little manic maybe.

    “And he’s so boring and he drives this terrible car.”

    “It’s a normal car," Shane says.

    He says his line because he’s perfect. He gets it exactly right. Like Ilya knew he would. Because he remembers. Because they have done this scene before. But this time round they know how it ends too and it's not with anyone marrying Svetlana.

    Summary

    "I'm calling it 'Adopt a Stray,'" Cliff announced, pacing the rug. "Tomorrow night. Boston vs. Montreal. We announce a new 'tradition.' We say that Boston has noticed that not every team is as close as ours. We say we’re looking for 'strays'—players who aren’t really accepted by their team, always seem an outcast, that need a little extra team bonding or whatever. And the first 'stray' we’re adopting? Is Shane Hollander."

    Summary

    Shane would like it to be known that it is not his fault that the stadium is now full of women carrying lilies. He blames Rose, in fact he blames Rose and every member of the Montreal Metros, especially Hayden.

    She said it would be so funny for her to give him flowers. She said it would be so funny that she spread an inside joke with the lilies. Shane is not laughing right now; in fact, he’s being laughed at by every single member of his team.

    Summary

    Refusing to let Ilya ruin his career by signing with Ottawa, Shane chooses to really give their relationship a try and moves to Boston to live with Ilya and become a Raider. What follows is enough public scrutiny and backlash from his team that it has him questioning if he made the right decision. Until moments with Ilya and the Raiders show him exactly why he chose correctly.

    ---

    Hayden’s eyes flickered to Shane as he sat on the bench, chewing on the edge of his mouth guard.

    “Don’t fucking look at him,” Ilya insisted as he bent down for the faceoff.

    “Excuse me?” Hayden mumbled, eyes darting back to him.

    “You heard me,” he retorted, his tone clipped. “He’s not your teammate anymore; he’s mine. If you think Marlow is a problem to your game, wait until you see what I will do to your team if you hurt anyone on mine again.”

    Hayden scoffed, dipping his head as he tried to focus on the game. Something about Ilya’s words still rang through his head though, sounding so definitive that he didn’t want to risk seeing what he was actually referring to when he said that.

    The puck dropped again, and Ilya stole it before he could comprehend how quickly it happened.
