    Summary

    What happens when someone who's never even owned a pet has a whole entire person dropped at their feet? What happens when that person is an angel? Well, if you're Alex Claremont-Diaz, you take him home and clean him up, and let your humanitarian nature take over. Maybe go a little crazy and do something like fall in lo-

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    Summary

    “Do you have it?” He gestures around, then points at Ilya’s gloves.

    Ilya shrugs, then looks at the ice, then shrugs again.

    “Did you swallow it?” The trainer looks more panicked at that.

    Ilya shrugs once again, then lowers his gloves some more, and slowly, very slowly, opens his fingers. They’re empty.

    “There!” Marlow points excitedly, then suddenly he’s on all fours on the ice, pulling off a glove, and picking something up.

    A moment later and he’s on his knees, gently holding out Ilya’s right front tooth like it’s a ring and they’re getting fucking married.

    Summary

    Alex trails off as Nora leans over to whisper something in June’s ear that causes her to laugh and fully turn her attention to Nora.

    Pez, upon hearing the laughter of his goddess, also turns to be included in their conversation. Bea takes this time to pick up her phone and look through her notifications, then notes that most of their drinks are empty so she offers to get them refills.

    He has, once again, successfully lost his audience.

    It shouldn’t hurt so much, not anymore. Alex is pretty used to this.

    They’ve never cut him off or spoken over him, it’s more subtle. It’s getting up for a bathroom break or whispering to each other or tilting phone screens to share a meme while he’s talking and should, theoretically, have their undivided attention. It’s always something.

    It shouldn’t hurt.

    He’s used to it.

    It’s not personal, they say.

    But it only happens to him.

    Alex is used to being tuned out by his friends. Then, there’s Henry, all blue eyes and attentive. Alex sort of loves him.
