    Summary

    Sid’s heart jumped and stayed high, quivering behind his ribs. He had slept on the flight from Toronto to Warsaw, and studied his phrasebook between Warsaw and Moscow, and hadn’t been nervous at all until this moment. It was only Geno, after all.

    Geno, who he hadn’t seen in a year and a half. Who had hesitated on the phone for many long, painful seconds when Sid first proposed this visit.

    Summary

    "Okay?" Geno asked groggily. Sid snapped out of it. Cold sweat broke out across the back of his neck. He inched away, tucking his hands under his thighs. He wouldn't have- Geno didn't deserve to be hurt. Sid would never- "Your head?"

    "Yeah," Sid choked out. Geno leaned forward and soothed a big hand over Sid's hair, his lips twisting at the corners. His eyes were painkiller bright, glazed over enough that they looked like marbles. He left his hand on Sid's head as his eyes slid shut. Sid sat still as Geno dozed and counted his breaths.

    Summary

    “So, umm,” Sid says into his phone, suddenly nervous.

    “Sid?” Geno’s voice registers surprise.

    “Yeah, umm.” Why is this difficult? “I’m here?”

    Geno laughs. “Back in Pittsburgh?”

    “No.” Sid clears his throat. “I’m-- I’m in the Moscow airport.”

    Summary

    Crosby, lingering nearby, gave Zhenya a tentative smile. They were all smiling, everyone in the room, looking at Zhenya and Crosby and dreaming big dreams, the same dreams that had pried Zhenya out of Magnitogorsk and launched him halfway around the world. Zhenya knew what was expected of him, him and Crosby together, and why not? Why couldn’t they?

    “Yes,” he said in English, watching Crosby’s face, and saw the moment when Crosby’s smile turned real.
