    Summary

    ‘Do you believe you can?’ Valentino looks at Marc. The man meets back his gaze – again those dark eyes that look almost black in the shadows cast by the bulbs – and his smile wavers. Valentino nudges him. ‘Come on, no bullshit, Márquez. No PR, I’m not Nick Harris. Tell it to me straight – do you think you can win?’

    Marc’s eyes hold that depth, that edge, again. It’s like for a moment they look so much sharper than they used to. The soft, rounded features are gone and his face is suddenly all angles, like a knife being tilted a multitude of different ways to mimic a human face. Even his lips appear to be one blunt razor.

    ‘Yeah,’ Marc murmurs. His gaze is locked with Valentino’s, and he nods. ‘Yeah, I think I can.’

    [aka: a story about how Valentino Rossi and Marc Márquez fall in love, fall apart and find their way back to each other twelve years after meeting.]

    Summary

    Yuna Hollander knows that it is normal for children to distance themselves from their parents as they approach adulthood. She expected it when Shane was a teenager, when he moved to Kingston for juniors, even later, when he moved to Montreal. When they stayed close, when he seemed happy to see them at his games, to have her managing his career, when he seemed not only to love them, but to still like having them around… When he invited her for dinner with his boyfriend and the four of them laughed until the summer sun dropped below the lake, she thought maybe this was one challenge of parenthood she would be spared. Which makes the day it finally happens all the harder to bear.

    Or, Yuna Hollander and the joy and anguish of growing up.
