    Summary

    Breath seizing, Ilya hovers over the call button and presses on Shane’s name. Fidgeting in front of his locker, he puts the phone to his ear and listens to the ringing. And ringing. And ringing.

    He really doesn’t like this at all.

    The call goes to voicemail. It cuts right through the bone, to his soft center, where it hurts most.

    Clenching his molars, Ilya hangs up and searches for Yuna’s name on his contact list. If any of the guys try to talk, he doesn’t hear them, doesn’t hear anything but the sound of his reeling thoughts.

    Pressing Yuna’s name, he brings the phone to his ear again. She picks up on the second ring.

    “Hey,” Yuna sounds surprised, “what’s up, hon?”

    Loosening his jaw, chest panging, Ilya asks, “hey, have you heard from Shane since game ended?”

    “Uh,” Yuna’s phone switches ears, “no, why?”

    Fuck.

    “Can you check on him?” Ilya tacks on a “please” that comes out desperate.

    A beat of concern passes. “Yeah,” Yuna says, drawing out the word, “can drive over right now. Has he not told you about,” her pause is purposeful, and Ilya knows what it means, “yet?”

    “No,” Ilya says, sick to his core, “I have bad feeling.”

    Summary

    After his Boxing Day fight with Ilya, Shane has a game plan to fix everything. He will come out as Ilya’s boyfriend to a few people, get himself used to the idea that everyone won’t hate him for it, and then think about telling more.

    Rose even has the perfect group in mind for Shane. After all, they were so kind when she and Shane were dating.

    Shane really isn’t prepared to enter his WAG era, but for Ilya’s sake, he will try.

    Summary

    Shane,” Ilya groans as soon as the line connects. “I feel terrible.

    “Ilya,” Shane exasperates. “You worded that text message in the worst way possible. You gave me a heart attack. I’m almost glad you’re sick and not bailing for another reason.”

    I wouldn’t. I really wanted to come to your very expensive cottage on lake, but headache is too much and flying is probably no good for it,” Ilya says, and Shane can hear the sickness in his voice.

    “How long have you felt sick?”

    I don’t know, got bad maybe two days ago?

    OR

    Ilya cancels his trip to the cottage.
    Shane flies to Boston instead.

    Summary

    “Daddy, who is Lily?”
    “I don’t know sweetie. Do you mean your friend from school?”
    “No Daddy, I thought it was her, but when I texted her, I got a really weird reply.”
    Shane knew giving a phone to an eight year old might not have been his best parental move, but all the kids in her class had one, he’d felt guilty. Besides, it was only his old phone. It couldn’t do much more than text.
    Wait… It was Shane’s old phone. And Judith was texting someone named Lily.
    “Oh no.”
