Summary
Once they are alone at their stalls, Ilya shoots Shane a sideways glance. “You look like you have… what's the phrase? When your face is natural but mad?”
“Resting bitch face?” Shane hisses through the agony in his jaw.
Ilya chuckles and points a finger right at Shane's nose. “Yes! You looked like you were going to murder poor Haas. And he was so excited to talk to you about boring hockey book,” Ilya explains, clearly delighted as he gets dressed.

Hayden Pike is fine. He can deal with it.
Spoiler alert: he's not, and he can't.

Summary
The locker room was buzzing in a way Shane could feel right below the surface of his skin. Not quite progressed to a humming in his bones, but getting there. His body felt like a switchboard, with every nerve lit up. He could feel the weight of each strand of hair against his scalp. The pool of sweat starting to dry against his lower back in the way that always made him want to scrub his skin raw.

Shane learns the language for the things he’s experienced his whole life. It opens up his world but also leads him to grieve the life he could have had if he only knew the words sooner. At least he doesn’t have to navigate it alone.

Summary
“I want—I think we can do more. To… prepare the hockey world. So it isn’t so…”
“Surprising?” David offered into Yuna’s pause.
“So surprising,” she agreed. “If people could just see them together, they’d understand,” she added, warmth colouring her voice.
“The youths,” said David as he thought of the latest intern at work, “call that a soft launch.”
