    Summary

    Ilya has learned that love gives you time, but it cannot make forever out of two weeks.

    He worries at his bottom lip, feeling the first seeds of dread as he leans against Shane’s bureau. He’s dressed, his bag is zipped, and it’s still dark outside. Shane sleeps, adorably, half on his stomach with his face nearly off the pillow. He didn’t need to get up as early as Ilya. You don’t need to get up as early just to drive someone to the airport.

    It’s 3 am. Ilya’s flight is at 7:30 and they still need to make the two-hour drive.

    OR

    They had two weeks, and those two weeks are finished. Shane drives Ilya from the cottage to the airport.

    Summary

    “The fuck? What are you doing here?”

    “I am wondering same thing about you.”

    You’re wondering—you’re in Shane’s—what the hell is going on?”

    “Close the door, please. Is cold.”

    Shane gives Hayden the go-ahead to grab a package from his house—but Ilya flew in a day early as a surprise.

    Oops.

    An alternate Hayden-finds-out story set the winter after The Cottage.

    Summary

    There was no way. Absolutely no way. The universe was a cruel mistress and there was no way Shane was spending the night with Ilya in room 1410 in this hotel and still being fit to play tomorrow.

    What if the Centaurs stayed in *that* hotel in Toronto one time? What if Shane and Ilya got assigned room 1410?
