    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

    Summary

    There were two words that would ring true for Ilya Rosanov after the Russian team won the International Prospect Cup. The first was sbezhat'. He feared that this would always remain true, too. Winning or losing didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but escape did. Escape from being twelve years old and too young to understand anything except the loss of his mother. Escape from his father, who beat the same loss and all that came with it into his skin. Escape from a brother who hated him. Escape from Russia. For more than he’d ever admit to himself. Ilya Rosanov was good at escaping.

    The second word should have been neschastnyy. It had been for as long as he could remember. There had been happy moments, mostly with his mother, but time and longing were slowly erasing what he could remember. The gold cross on his chest would always remain and a picture tucked away to keep it safe. But now, standing at the window and staring out at nothing, a different word echoed in the back of his mind.

    Vesnushki.

    Summary

    At the start of the season Ilya’s new team, the Ottawa Centaurs – being a relatively new team have hired a social media and strategic initiatives manager to help the team get more recognition.

    She’s a complicated individual, choosing to live her life in the gray area between right and wrong, her often reckless and borderline sociopathic behavior wreaks havoc on those around her.

    Driven by a heady mix of boredom and curiosity she’s finds hers unable to stay away from Ilya, regardless of how guarded he is and faithful to Shane he’s determined to be.

    Ilya has never encountered someone like her, most people haven’t, and he’s finding himself irrevocably captivated by her and his old ways.

    In a moment of weakness, a mistake, a sin against love, secrets are kept, but, you know, secrets have a way of getting out.
