    Summary

    Five Conversations Yuna has with Ilya, and one conversation she has with Shane. Ch. 6: Back at the cottage.

    Yuna had made checklists and organized budgets and shook coaches’ hands and learned how to negotiate and delegate and advocate, all in service of protecting and preserving Shane and this precious, enormous gift. There were a million ways for his journey to go wrong, and only one way for it to go right. She was competent, she was capable, she’d done everything right, everything by the book — and twenty years later, she feels like she didn’t rise to the moments that truly mattered. She mentored the career, at times, she did not mother the boy. 

    And yet Shane, a marvelous miracle all his own, had figured out those lessons anyways.

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.

    Summary

    There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years.

    But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.

    Summary

    An unexpected encounter with Ilya Rozanov - and a newly changed perspective of him - leads Yuna into a series of conversations with both halves of the rivalry - and slowly into both an unexpected friendship and a new understanding of what the 'rivalry' entails.
    Or: (5 times Yuna reached out to Ilya, +1 time he reached out to her first; 5 times Yuna tried to get Shane to talk to her, +1 time she didn't need to.)
