Summary
Standing at the door of Ilya’s hotel room, Shane prepares his speech in his head. Everything he wants to tell Ilya, to explain to Ilya.

Summary
“English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian.
“Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate.
“Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.”
“No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game.
“Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.”
Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).

Summary
It was handwritten in curly letters and had foreign stamps and international postmarks. It didn't look like fan mail. He looked closer and saw it had Russian stamps. Ilya stopped breathing. Suddenly, he recognized the handwriting. Slowly, he turned the letter over and opened it with shaking fingers. He unfolded the paper, which was written in Cyrillic. His heart hammered against his chest as he began to read.
"Ilya...."
-OR-
Ilya is miserable after the tuna melt when he gets a letter from his father that changes everything. For once, Grigori makes Ilya brave.
