    Summary

    "Your mom and dad do love each other." This, Shane was sure of. Hayden and Jackie were two parts of the same whole, since the moment they met. He would know, he was there. But to explain it to two very distraught little girls was a more complicated thing, "It's just hard for your mom, with your dad away for hockey so often. They also get upset after a long day, okay? I'm sure they don't mean it either."

    "I don't want Dad to play hockey anymore. He can play with us, at home." Jade sniffled.

    Ruby just nodded again.

    He set them both back down and kneeled down to their level. "I promise, he wants to be home with you guys everyday. Hockey is your dad's dream, though, and it won't be forever. He's doing all this so that one day, he can spend everyday with you guys."

    --

    With the help of the Pike family, Shane comes to some realizations. So do the Pikes.

    Summary

    Ilya wanted so badly to just tell Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander, it’s always been Shane Hollander. He wanted to invite her over after the game so he'd know it was possible for her and Shane to exist in the same room without the world collapsing.

    He was calling Shane back before he even thought about it, his heart in his throat. 

    “Ilya?”

    “Can I invite Svetlana?"

    He could never have expected what happened next.

    Or: Only a few months after the cottage, Shane meets Svetlana—and goes to great lengths to defeat his jealousy.
