Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”

Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
Life on a military base is not what John was expecting, especially not with the distance opening back up between him and Ghost. Turns out, adapting to a new relationship, while also adapting to a new lifestyle, and dealing with the trauma of an actual zombie apocalypse isn't easy. Especially when your partner has their own trauma to deal with.
Ghost feels the same, returning to the military has reopened old wounds. He's on edge, and agitated, and has no idea how to navigate this in the context of a new relationship.
