Summary
On a Monday morning in October, Shane Hollander drops a mug of coffee and doesn't get back up.
Ilya is upstairs with the twins. He hears the sound — not the mug breaking, but the body. The thud of the person who holds it all upright. He puts the children down. He goes to the kitchen. Shane is on the floor, looking at Ilya, trying to say everything, but nothing comes out.
Stroke. Left hemisphere. Thirty-eight years old.
Shane spends six weeks in a hospital bed learning how to say his children's names. Ilya spends six weeks splitting himself into three people — the husband in the chair, the father in the nursery, the hockey player on the ice

Summary
“Did you just tell a customer their outfit was structurally unsound?”
“It was.”
If you ask Shane Hollander, he'll tell you the bar's highball glasses are committing a war crime against sparkling water, your outfit has at least three structural flaws, and no, he is NOT blushing, it's just warm in here, and no, he was NOT staring at the new bartender through the gap in the ficus leaves, he was RESTING HIS EYES, and also, for the record, he doesn't care that the bartender has hazel eyes the color of warm stone in late-afternoon light or that his hands can untangle Shane's knotted fingers like they were made for exactly that purpose. He's a particularly opinionated artist with a sunset to paint. He doesn't have time for this. (He makes so much time for this.)
A neurodivergent artist with the social grace of a startled deer + a bartender with the patience of a saint + a best friend who lives for drama = a love story told in fumbled words, shared sunsets, and the quiet understanding that sometimes the most profound conversations happen without speaking a word.
Or: Shane Hollander has zero filter, zero social skills, and is definitely in love with the new bartender his mother hired for their family bar

Summary
“Y-Yeah, totally,” Shane replied. “D-Do you uh– do you know who that kid with Rozanov is?”
Scott laughed a little, tilting his head in confusion.
“Probably Rozanov’s kid,” he informed Shane, causing his brain to stall completely.
“You didn’t hear?” Scott asked, and Shane blinked, trying to reboot his mind from the crash that Scott had just caused. “It’s why he took time off,” Hunter informed him. “Found out he had a kid, I guess. Or something like that, I didn’t really get the details.”
Of all the reasons he’d thought of for Ilya disappearing for the past month, this had never crossed his mind. A million different thoughts raced through Shane’s mind. How the hell was Ilya a dad, and why hadn’t he told Shane and how the fuck did Scott Hunter of all people find out before him and—
And what the fuck was Shane supposed to do now?
_______________________________________________________________
After the tuna melt situation, Ilya suddenly disappears from hockey for six weeks, claiming some sort of family emergency. Shane showed up to the All-Star game ready to try and fix things, only to be shocked to find a little girl at Ilya's side with remarkably familiar blue eyes.
