Summary
He is twelve and clutching at her shoulders again, sixteen and letting her hold ice against his cheek, twenty-one and sinking into her like an exhale, barely twenty-four when Svetlana looks over at him and thinks something’s different now. You look happy. You look like you could be happy.
Ilya is twenty-six in her kitchen and holding onto the love of his life, and Svetlana can breathe again without worrying that he will stop.

Summary
Shane's eyes squeeze closed again. “We had reason to put rules in place. Protocol. If ever—if it got to a place where, if he was ever feeling like he might—"
Hayden’s body understands before his mind catches up. His blood runs cold for a second, stuck on the scrunch of Shane’s face, the clench of his fist, how desperate he’d been to see Rozanov—Ilya—just now. To make sure that he was okay. Here, in person.
Not hurt. Alive.
“Oh,” Hayden hears himself say distantly. “Oh, fuck, Shane.”
--
or, Ilya needs a place to go, and Hayden's happens to be the closest. It turns out to be a good thing.

Summary
When Shane meets Ilya's gaze, there's a challenge in his eyes. “Simple points system,” he decides. “Score kept by Bood."
“Great,” Bood sighs, “Now I’m a fucking marriage counselor,” but he’s already uncapping an Expo marker and starting a tally on the top left corner of the whiteboard. HOLLZY VS. ROZ it says, and under it, 0-1.
Like they're teenagers again, Shane crosses the locker room and extends a hand for Ilya to shake. "May the best husband win."
-
Or: Ilya and Shane compete to see who's the better husband.
