Summary
For almost 10 years now, Shane and Ilya have known one another, connected deeply by their shared love of hockey, fear of retribution and judgment due to their preferences in a life partner, and intense mutual respect, physical attraction and eventual love for each other. But there is something else that connects them to one another, something that the both of them weren’t even aware of - and that person is you.
You had entered their lives at different times in the past 10 years, well before you figured out what they were to one another you had been deeply broken by them both, leaving you more than a little bit damaged, and you have all but disappeared from their lives. Leaving unanswered questions that still haunt the two of them privately.
But life tends to flow like a river, and sometimes that river is circular.
