    Summary

    After his second Cup win, Shane had stared down the gaping maw of August stretched open before him and, for the first time, the thought of spending it fishing and birding at his cottage, alone, without anyone to make him a sandwich or press his head into the space beneath their chin, was unbearable.

    Thus, Los Angeles.

    Summary

    “Yes, sweetheart. I’m here.” She tries to school her voice into something neutral, something that hadn’t been up all night, pacing Shane’s luxury hardwoods.

    The place felt haunted without him, not just empty—but expectant. Ginger ale and coke in the fridge, four pieces of salmon marinating in lemon and thyme. There’d been condoms on his nightstand. And lubricant—which was good, wasn’t it? He obviously cared about his partner. Or partners, David had said, unhelpfully.

    Summary

    The pitch is—bad.

    It's stupid and annoying and the worst thing is that she can see why it might be compelling. MLH has been playing up Shane and Rozanov's rivalry for eight years because they're increasingly exceptional players, and it's still a marketable rivalry.

    Which irritates her because the rivalry isn't doing anything for Shane's brand at this point, and she's been working for years with Shane's publicist to try to shift the narrative. This year's All-Star Game had seemed like the exact thing to start shifting the needle, but every time she brings Rozanov up to Shane, he deflects in a way that makes it clear that he really does genuinely dislike the man. Which is a shame, because maybe if Hannah had been able to seed some pieces about their rivalry turning into something more like mutual respect, this goddamned porn movie about her son wouldn't be on her desk.

    Yuna deals with a PR nightmare.

    Summary

    Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.

    So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.
