    Summary

    Ilya thinks he plays hockey. Why else would he be in Canada? Why would he befriend a hockey star, Shane Hollander? Ilya must be an MLH hockey player. And a good one, too, if he's still in Canada, some ten years after being drafted. He guesses Shane is his teammate, they are friends, close friends probably, and Yuna loves him so much that he is like a second son. She cried at his hospital bed and everything. He has a family here, in Canada. Ilya Rozanov, at twenty-eight, is a very lucky man.

    Or: Ilya wakes up to find out that all his dreams came true.

    Summary

    Ilya waited until he was in his car, alone and in silence, before he took his phone out of his pocket. 5 missed calls from Jane, and one unread text.

    Call me as soon as you see this.

    Shane picked up on the second ring. “Ilya.”

    “Shane. What’s-”

    “My dad’s in the hospital.”

    David Hollander gets in a car accident while Shane and Yuna are travelling. Ilya, newly traded to Ottawa, is the only one available.

    He handles it pretty well. Until he doesn't.

    Summary

    The teasing tone of his voice should be enough to convince Shane he is okay. He's inconvenienced Shane enough, it was time to manage his problems on his own. He can mask whatever is going on with him today, deal with it, and be better tomorrow. 

    He just has to make it to tomorrow.

    His husband, unfortunately, has other plans. "We actually finished early. I'm gonna come back today instead of two days from now. I have a flight in two hours, so I should be home by evening."

    The panic hits Ilya almost instantly. Evening is too soon, he thinks, I'll still be like this by evening. Shane is going to deal with my mess again. He won't even have time to rest from his flight. I can't be seen like this. I can't do this to him. I can't let someone else deal with my problems. I can't let someone else come home to this. 

    I'm just like my mother.

    Summary

    Ilya thought he could keep everything under control—his game, his team, and what’s happening inside his own head.
    But some things get harder to hide the longer you pretend you're fine.
    And tonight, someone notices.
