    Summary

    “Are you okay, babe?” Jackie asks.

    Is Hayden okay? Good question.

    It’s not like he’s a prude. He and Jackie have four kids, for heaven’s sake.

    It’s just that he will never be able to un-hear the words he overheard Rozanov saying to Shane in the kitchen.

    “Uh-huh, yeah. Super okay,” Hayden says.

    “Right. I definitely believe you when you speak in that voice.”

    “Are you, like.” Oh god. “Like. Satisfied?”

    Or, five times Shane and Ilya inspire others to question how they approach their own relationships, and one time they don’t.

    Hi, this is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail.

    If there’s one thing he never expected, it’s that Shane would take this literally.

    Summary

    Yuna Hollander… got his number from Hayden Pike? Two people he has rarely if ever spoken to, yet who are undeniably important to Shane. Two people who have absolutely no reason to have his phone number.

    His eyes scan back up and snag on that name. Lily.

    She thinks she’s talking to Lily.

    Ilya’s hands move before his brain. He doesn’t bother to worry about where she could’ve heard the name from, not when he knows Shane never talks to anyone about what they do. No one should know about Lily, but Mrs. Hollander somehow does. She is offering him some kind of information, and he doesn’t care what he has to do to get it—pretending to be Shane’s Boston hookup is nothing.

    Summary

    He meant to have this conversation months ago, if he’s honest.

    Truly, he’d planned on reaching out. Had tweaked his usual Instagram message, the one that both offers condolences and community. Scott didn’t figure that Rozanov would respond particularly well to that level of sincerity, especially given the lack of details around his family life – even after his father’s death had been announced by the media. Instead, he’d decided to throw in a light chirp and remove some of the apologies as a middle ground solution.
    ________________

    Or, Scott planned to reach out to Rozanov over the summer about his father. But now -- at the Opening Banquet for the 2017-2018 NHL Season -- is as good of a time as any.
