Summary
In January, 1929, they meet for two days in Corby, Lincolnshire, a village Thomas had never heard of before finding it in the passenger services pamphlet — there's a railway station, some churches, and not much else, if you don't count farmland.
It rains the whole time.
It's perfect.

Summary
“I’m sorry I’m not him,” Shane says, looking away.
“Who?”
“Future me. Whoever you fell in love with.” What’s unsaid hangs in the air: whoever fell in love with you. Because this Shane – 2010 Shane – doesn’t love him. Is amused by their daily lessons, comforted by his presence, even grateful. But love?
“That’s the thing, Shane,” Ilya says. His eyes are shining. “You are, right now, exactly who I fell in love with.”
In 2031, Shane wakes up in the hospital certain that it's 2010. Ilya is there to remind him of the two decades he's missed and the life they've built along the way.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Sit, sit,” Ilya says, first in English and then he switches to Russian. “Are you hungry? Thirsty?”
“I’ll put together some…bites?” Shane says in slow but clear Russian.
“Snacks,” Ilya corrects him, then leans in and kisses him. On the mouth.
Ludmila feels her jaw drop open.

Summary
“Sounds like our era will continue for a little while longer.”
Ilya laughs. “Aw, a shame. I was ready to settle down and play house with you because a nineteen-year-old said we are too old for hockey.” Shane knows Ilya is joking, but something warm and fuzzy suddenly settles in his chest.

Bookmarker's Notes
Shane is so caught off-guard by the chirp that all he can do is look at Ilya- Ilya, who is fighting a grin. “I think we have just been Scott Hunter’d.”
“Wanna win the cup and then kiss at center ice?” Shane gives him a smirk, and Ilya wiggles his eyebrows.

Bookmarker's Notes
The arguments in the Hollander household were nothing compared to what Ilya had grown up with. He thought he knew everything there was to know about arguing, he did it constantly. But David had introduced him to this whole other angle that wasn't avoidance or aggression: he diffused tension. It was totally novel to Ilya, and David was amazing at it.
“David,” said Ilya quietly. “You are like. . . Peace Corps. You could go out into warzones and make everybody eat a snack and calm down.”

Bookmarker's Notes
"Hey,” Shane says, leaning against the door frame. He crosses his arms, body and voice unsure in a way Ilya hasn't seen in a while. It strikes him what Shane is doing just before he says the words that echoed in his mind long after the Olympics were over. “I just wanted to see how you're doing."
