    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are married and play together on the Ottawa Centaurs. They were told they could never get this– playing together, loving each other loudly, building a beautiful life together. The one thing that they fear is when that time comes to an end.

    For forty years, Shane and Ilya build a life that feels unshakable. What years of love and devotion don’t prepare them for is how love holds on when time starts taking pieces of it away.

    Summary

    Ilya is married. He is married to Shane and has Shane in their bed and their house every day. He has Shane as a part of his life more fully than he ever has. People know about them. He holds Shane's hand in the grocery store without Shane pulling away. They are on the same team, getting ready to share the ice for a whole season.

    Ilya has everything he'd been longing for over the past four years. Maybe longer. Probably longer.

    Ilya has a hole in his chest. The edges push aside his heart and lungs, digging up under his ribs so everything feels tight and cramped while the core of his being vacillates between aching and emptiness.

    In which Ilya collects pills, distracts Shane, and has a great time doing it.

    Summary

    In 2007, Shane Hollander pathetically falls in unrequited love. It’s the biggest mistake of his life.

    In the years that follow, it becomes almost easy to pretend Ilya Rozanov never really existed at all.

    In 2014, Ilya Rozanov signs with the Toronto Guardians. He's determined to make Shane remember exactly what he once felt, but seems to have forgotten the many ways in which he ruined Shane Hollander's life.
