    Summary

    Scott arrives at Sochi reckless, mostly hairless, and entirely Kip-less, but he's doing completely fine. Vaughny needs to stop worrying, because he's definitely not going to do something stupid, like spend his Gold medal speech begging Kip to take him back.

    Summary

    Kip leaned against the counter, projecting an air of casual competence he absolutely did not feel. His heart was doing a stupid little tap dance against his ribs, which was ridiculous. He served handsome men all the time. Halifax was full of bearded fishermen and lumbersexual hipsters.

    But this was different. This guy looked like he was the forest.

    "Morning," Kip said, aiming for breezy and landing somewhere near slightly breathless. "What can I get started for you? We have a Guatemalan roast today that has notes of chocolate and existential dread, if that's your vibe."

    Or:
    The one where Scott is a grumpy junior hockey coach and Kip is a charmingly awkward rugby player. Both come with their own baggage. Both are miserable in their own way.
    Oh, and they are in Canada.

    Summary

    “I loved him enough to try,” Kip whispered, his voice heavy with immense exhaustion. “But loving someone shouldn’t mean secrecy.”

    Margaret held him tighter, and Kip felt the last remnants of his strength drain away. The struggle between loving Scott and loving himself had worn him out. And now, in his mother’s arms, with the smell of tea beginning to fill the house, he faced the hardest reality of all: sometimes, the bravest love is the one that says goodbye.

    “Well, the advice your grandmother gave me, back when your father and I were on and off…” Margaret said softly, tucking her son’s curls behind his ear. “When two people are meant to find each other, the universe itself puts them in each other’s path by chance. If it’s meant to happen, it will—just pay attention, but don’t wait with expectations.”

    Summary

    The Finger Lakes are about as temperamentally far from New York City as he could get. In less than an hour he can be in Rochester, if he wanted to. If there were anything still there of his old life—the life he’d had as a boy, before his parents died, before boarding school, before the NHL consumed him and spat him out.

    Ten years after letting Kip walk out of his apartment, Scott is retired and living in obscurity, running a bed and breakfast in upstate New York.

    It’s quiet there. It’s lonely. It’s exactly how he likes it.

    Until serendipity brings Kip to his doorstep.
