Summary
Shane reached out a blood-slicked hand, his voice a broken sob. "Ilya, please... I had to... my father—"
"I should turn you over to the guards. But God help me, Shane... I think I’d rather burn the empire to the ground than see a single hair on your head harmed." He lowered the blade. "Get out. If I see you again, I will not be the one to show mercy. You are nothing to me, Hollander."

“Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”
Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.
“Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”
“Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.
“Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.
It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

Summary
Once, belied by the notion of a city teeming with other Russians, he spent the day going from bakery to bakery in New York City, trying to find a cake that would even come close. It was the dead of winter, and he blamed any teariness on the way the wind whipped at his face. He ignored texts from everyone but Shane.

Медовик (medovik) is a Russian cake made with layers of cake, cream, and honey.
