    Summary

    Moscow, 2007. Ilya's junior hockey team gets a new assistant coach for the summer - and a new temporary teammate. The tension starts building the second Shane Hollander steps onto the ice, and Ilya is fascinated.

    Sure, two months feel like a long time when you're sixteen, but they shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
    Right?

    *****

    Or: The thing with Ilya's coach's son, but it's Shane.

    Summary

    “We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”

    It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.

    He can’t breathe.

    (Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)
