    Summary

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Technically, he would never have downloaded a dating app if it hadn’t been for his friend, Cliff. He was proudly showing him the women he was texting, Explaining all the filters, settings, and stupid little features the app had.

    Ilya had only been half listening until Cliff mentioned that your profile could stay completely anonymous. Anonymous sounded very good.

    He downloaded the app later that night. Mostly out of curiosity, he tells himself, but maybe because the idea of finding a hot guy without anyone knowing about it suddenly sounded like a very good idea.

    Or

    Ilya downloads a dating app and out of every possible person, he matches with none other than Shane Hollander.
    But neither know who the other person is
