    Summary

    ch 4: 'In Montreal, give the people what they fucking want—two-nil after the first period and Ilya still mushed a gloved knuckle into Shane’s lower lip, just a sweet swipe above the center dot as they stooped for the faceoff. Enough that he bucked away swearing through his mouthguard, not so much that he couldn’t wave his lineys off from a little scrap..'

    Summary

    “Ilya?” Shane said in that same dreamy, loopy voice as that morning. Ilya exhaled in a rush.

    “Shane,” he said, and wanted to sag against the glass with relief. “What happened? Is something wrong?”

    “Not! Any moooooooore.”

    Ilya swallowed. Shane hadn’t gotten any quieter in the past seven hours.

    “Why are you calling me? You need to be resting,” he said, and it sounded softer than he’d meant it to.

    “I forgot to tell you something. Important.

    “You should not be telling me anything, you should be—”

    “My cottage has really good water pressure,” Shane announced.

    Ilya stared out the window while a small plane taxied past.

    “What?”

    ——————

    Shane's cottage has a lot of amenities, and he needs to tell Ilya about all of them.
