    Summary

    And suddenly, filling his entire screen, Rozanov was grinning into the camera with a row of bloody teeth. His lip was split. When he wiped his mouth with the back of his bare hand, it came away streaked with red. He spat the rest onto the ice with an awful smile and a wink before getting to his feet.


    Jane: Can you stay in the dressing room?

    Lily: Are you asking or telling?

    Jane: You hate being told what to do.

    Lily: Not when it's you

    Jane: Stay.

    Jane: You looked really fucking good taking that hit.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Shane’s mind wandered to the health questionnaires from Junior A. How often do you drink? How often do you exercise? How often do you get plowed into mattresses at midnight by the guy who tried to knock your teeth out at 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific?

    Summary

    Trinity and Dennis have been roommates for three months, and she wouldn't say that they're friends.

    Sure, they spend all of their time together. And yes, they watch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives religiously every week and chat about it at work. And yeah, fine, she'll meal prep them both lunch while he fixes her sink, but they're not friends. And that's how it'll stay.

    Until the day a patient comes into the ER and Dennis refuses to treat him. Not out of revulsion. Not because the guy’s an ass.

    Because Dennis is terrified.

    And fear has a funny way of cracking things open.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Just like she remembers the blood under her nails from Pitt Fest, just like the choked sob of a med student who passed out during an emergency procedure for a collapsed lung. She’ll file it away in the same locked cabinet of her brain: Tragedy, Personal.

    Summary

    "What's wrong with this one?" Seth asks. Nicky's soft touch is making him sleepier than he'd like so early in the night.

    "Not the right style." Nicky says, eyes glued to the screen. The high council swoons over the bride yet again. "Doesn't suit her at all. The texture on the fabric here is so tacky."

    "They all look the same to me." Seth murmurs.

    "You have no taste." Nicky says, voice echoing into his glass. "You're not getting any say in our wedding planning."

    Summary

    The moment Yuna rises from her seat, Ilya knows Shane is going to follow. He is good, his Shane. A good hockey player; a good partner; a good son. A good person.

    On his best day, Ilya might consider himself to be one of those things. It's purely quantitative; he has the accolades to prove it. But today is far from his best day, so when Shane grabs the grey cashmere sweater draped like a shroud around Yuna's vacated chair and leaves Ilya with David peering blankly at him across the table, he braces for a storm.

    Ilya and David's conversation at the dining table.

    Summary

    They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided. 

    She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know. 

    Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.

     

    or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Rozanov clears his throat. “You played for McGill,” he says, sounding tentative. All of seventeen years old, the way he must have sounded when he met Shane for the first time. Summer before their rookie year. Christ. “It is great school, I know.”

    “It is,” Dave agrees. Then he stands, glass in hand. “Want another drink?”

    “Yes please,” Ilya says fervently, following him into the kitchen. The bottle’s still on the counter, next to half a can of tonic and a discarded lime. In the sink are the beginnings for pesto, two bunches of basil leaves and a bag of spinach from the farmer’s market. Yuna and him went this morning. Before they’d realized their son was in love and their whole world had shifted six feet and three inches to the right.

    Still, there’s enough for four people. Even two normal people and two hockey players. They’ve been buying extra for years. It rings ironic, but it’s just the truth.

    He pours both himself and his son’s Ilya Rozanov another shot—generous—of the vodka before stoppering it and putting it back into its cupboard. Ilya looks like he has less idea what to do in a lived-in family style kitchen than he did at the dining table.
