Shane invites Ilya to his lakeside cottage for two quiet weeks in the off-season. It's supposed to be uncomplicated. No teams, no press, no pretending. Instead, it turns into slow mornings, shared meals, negotiated control, and the kind of closeness that's a lot harder to walk away from than either of them expected.

It's been three weeks since Ilya first arrived at the cottage. And as the summer comes to a close, Shane and Ilya prepare for Ilya's return to Boston and the start of a new NHL season.
