    Summary

    The plant is fake, the throw pillows are strategic, and her newest client is a 6'3" NHL captain who points an accusing finger at her and says, "You're supposed to fix me."

    Galina Molchalina didn't move across an ocean to be yelled at in her own language. But here we are.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    On a Monday morning in October, Shane Hollander drops a mug of coffee and doesn't get back up.

    Ilya is upstairs with the twins. He hears the sound — not the mug breaking, but the body. The thud of the person who holds it all upright. He puts the children down. He goes to the kitchen. Shane is on the floor, looking at Ilya, trying to say everything, but nothing comes out.

    Stroke. Left hemisphere. Thirty-eight years old.

    Shane spends six weeks in a hospital bed learning how to say his children's names. Ilya spends six weeks splitting himself into three people — the husband in the chair, the father in the nursery, the hockey player on the ice

    Summary

    “Come on, Finnick. You’re seventeen years old for crying out loud. You should be here. Not living with those victors who aren’t even part of this community. You belong here, not in some Capitol-funded house with strangers.”

    “I’m a victor too. I’ve killed people —“

    “When you were fourteen years old! It’s different.”

    I set the salt shaker down and glare at him.

    “People are saying awful things. They’re saying you’re more Capitol than District now. That you’ve slept with who knows how many—“

    He cuts himself off, too ashamed to finish the sentence. His next words come in a whisper.

    “But I always tell them I know you. I know my son. You know what I see when I look at you? I see your mother. Your eyes...”

    “I hate my eyes,” I mutter it almost to myself and am surprised to realize I’ve spoken out loud. “That’s what they all say. That they love my eyes. My hair. My skin.”

    “Finnick. What you’re doing. No one’s forcing you, right? You’re willing—“

    “I like the Capitol, dad,” I say quickly. “It doesn’t smell like fish, the buildings aren’t falling apart, there’s always enough to eat. Your friends don’t show up dead on the beach.”
