Summary
Shane Hollander loves his daughter Hanako more than words can say, but she’s a sensitive kid, and he’s tied up in knots about her switching schools for their big move to Ottawa. He soon realizes that she has a guardian angel watching over her in the form of her first-grade teacher. That angel begins to interest Shane far too much for his own good.
Ilya Rozanov has made himself a new home outside Russia, and found the joy of his life in teaching. There's no time to face his fears when his days are filled by craft glue, storybooks, and healing boo-boos. That plan is about to get flipped on its head by the new little girl in his class who won’t stop crying — or rather, by her incredibly charming father who Ilya can’t manage to get out of his head.

Summary
“You know, I don’t think we’ve actually said more than five words to each other since, um… since the last time.”
“The last time? I don’t think I remember. I guess it’s been so long.”
Ilya was lying straight through his teeth. He remembered every moment of that afternoon like it was yesterday: remembers the elation of letting the cry of “Shane” pass through his lips and the crack in his voice as he begged “Hollander”. He had been sitting on that couch, with the taste of tuna and cheese stuck to the inside of his mouth and a puddle drying on his stomach, for the last thirteen years. But he couldn’t say that.
He needed Shane to tell him. Needed somebody — the only other person in the world who knows what happened that day — to confirm he wasn’t crazy, that he didn’t imagine the whole thing. That there had been something real, even if just for a millisecond. He needed somebody to tell him back the story he’d been picking apart with a magnifying glass for the better part of two decades.
—
The tuna meltdown was really, truly the end — until a series of unfortunate run-ins force Shane and Ilya to face the memories that have been torturing them for nearly fifteen years, and face each other.
