    Summary

    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.

    Summary

    "Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.

    And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.

    You don’t deserve his last name."

    Summary

    What are you thinking? She signs, hoping not to scare him away from the tentative deal they’ve struck, a compromise he’s inching closer to with glacial progress.

    He takes a thoughtful bite of pear, chewing slowly; she doesn’t like slow, thrums with impatience but is willing to wait for him even as she reads the spark of mischief in his eyes.

     

    or; Makkari can't read minds, but she wants to know what's going on in Druig's.

    Summary

    Druig couldn't abandon himself to the distraction of human beauty as she did; at times, he dearly wished he could. He did not begrudge her the compromise she made: her relics, his villagers. Were they not both trying to make sense of the insensible?
