    Summary

    Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.

    Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.

    As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.

    (Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

    Summary

    Ilya: I do not know how I’ll survive until I see you again.

    Shane: So dramatic.

    Ilya: It is only two months, I guess.
    Ilya: Not that long.

    Shane: It’s fucking forever.

    Ilya: Now who’s being dramatic?

    Shane: I’ve spent too much time around you at the cottage ❤️
    Shane: We’ll talk all the time though, right?

    Ilya: Every day.

    Shane: And we’ll have phone sex still?

    Ilya: As if you could survive without it.

    Shane: As if you could.
    Ilya: I love you, Shane Hollander.

    Shane: I love you too, Ilya Rozanov.
    Shane: Call me when you land?

    Ilya: Only an immigration officer could stop me.

    Summary

    He’s standing across from Ilya in his kitchen. Their feet are almost touching, Ilya’s in black socks that Shane also has multiple pairs of, Shane’s in his favourite soft striped ones. The rain is getting louder outside, moving from a drizzle to a downpour. And Ilya is looking at him like he loves him.

    Summary

    Being a good father and a good husband turned out not to require anything extraordinary. All Ilya had to do was hold his son upright while he cried. Reach for his husband’s hand when everything else felt fragile enough to break. Explaining why. Explaining it again. Apologizing when he was wrong, and let himself be forgiven, too.

    Stay—especially on the days when staying felt like a decision he had already, once, been afraid he might not make.

    Do it again tomorrow.

    And tomorrow, Ilya learned, was no longer frightening when it looked back at him through brown eyes.
