    Summary

    “Come on,” Comeau says. “Are we all just supposed to pretend it's normal that you’re still playing house with Ilya Rozanov?”

    “Gil—” J.J. says, but Shane doesn’t want him to finish that sentence, to pull Comeau gently off the ledge he’s steering himself toward. Shane wants to push him, kicking and screaming, to make them say it to his fucking face. That after all this time, they still hate him for the heinous crime of falling in love.

    “We’ve been married for two years,” Shane says. “I’m not sure that qualifies as playing house. I mean, it’s longer than you were with your first wife, isn’t it?”

    Or: Shane reunites with his former teammates at J.J.'s bachelor party. He's finally ready to say (and maybe punch) his piece.

    Summary

    "What's happening?" asks the lone Raiders fan that Shane has found himself next to, a young woman with St. Simone on the back of her black and gold jersey.

    Her friend, a handsome woman in Metros' blues, explains, "Une malédiction. A curse." Her Québécois accent lifts the ends of her sentences into a lilting melody.

    "Oh." The Raiders fan frowns, concerned. "Does someone have it out for Hollander? Shouldn't sporting arenas be protected against that?"

    Her friend laughs. "It's Centre Bell itself who has it out for Hollander. You've never heard the story about the TD Garden trying to eat Magic Johnson?"

    Or; The Bell Centre carries a hundred years of hockey and all of its grudges. Ilya must traverse its depths to save Shane.

    Summary

    For the last five years, Shane had led the cavalry division of their retinue, and Ilya, whose skill with a broadsword was legendary across the kingdom, led the infantry. They were each as deadly as the other, on foot or on horseback, but they had preferred the option of joint captaincy to sole command of smaller cavalry companies. Most knights would have refused to command on foot, but not Ilya, who said he was no different from the rest of the men, who may not have been plucked from their homes to be trained for the Prince’s Guard, but who fought with the same valor. This stance was among the many reasons that their men loved him.

    “Shane. You know he is not a good regent.”

    Shane set his jaw.

    They had had so many versions of this conversation.
