    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the most respected hockey journalist in Canada. He's been covering the Boston Raiders for three years. He has interviewed Ilya Rozanov fourteen times in a professional capacity. He has written 47,000 words about Ilya Rozanov's career. He has approximately zero words for what happens when Rozanov corners him in a hotel corridor after Game 7 and says, very quietly, in that voice: "You always leave before I can talk to you." Shane has absolutely no idea what to do with that.
    (Or: Shane doesn't play hockey. He just writes about the man who does. It is, objectively, worse.)

    Summary

    Shane was there when Ilya got the call, his arm heavy across Ilya's stomach, like even in sleep he could tell something was trying to take Ilya away from him.

    When Boston realize Ilya wants out, they send him to the highest bidder. The highest bidder is LA.

    Summary

    “Need a bet to get laid, Rozanov? You’re really that desperate these days?”

    “Nostalgic, maybe.”

    “Wow. Big word.”

    “Shut up, Hollander.”

    Shane shuts up.

    “When I win,” Rozanov continues. “I get you for…twenty-four hours.”

    or

    Shane and Ilya are in rival frats in their senior year and it's time for the annual Greek Olympiad. A bet is made.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander, hockey enthusiast and licensed massage therapist, is an expert in helping athletes keep their bodies in tip-top shape. Working with the Boston Raiders should've been his career milestone.

    One Ilya Rozanov makes things much, much more complicated. Relentless on the ice and unreadable everywhere else, Ilya unsettles Shane in ways that have nothing to do with hockey and everything to do with proximity, restraint, and the dangerous pull of something unspoken.

    OR

    Shane is a sports therapist that starts working with the Boston Raiders.

    Strong hands shifted to the back of Shane’s head, to the nape of his neck. That’s when time began to blur, seconds melting together until they barely existed at all. That’s when Rozanov leaned in – and when Shane followed. Like the strike of flint against wood. They existed in that moment, and in the wildfire that followed.

    Summary

    In hopes to improve his English, Ilya Rozanov subscribes to the New Yorker.

    He does not expect himself to fall in love with a column, especially the author.

    Shane Hollander only knows how to write from his heart by cataloguing loneliness as his own, about the performance of public life and about wanting something that he cannot safely name.

    Ilya learns new words from him.

    Yearning. Vulnerability. Home.

    And he is practicing to say them out loud.
