Summary

Shane H-R

He wouldn’t be able to fuck you in the waders?

They fasten over the shoulder, right?

And I assume to stay watertight there’s no fly situation?


Cassie B

Captain Harlot over here thinking about wader sex logistics


Ilya H-R

Sweetheart, should I get waders?

Another WAG chat, another Valentine's Day - but this time, both husbands are in the group.

Notes

what can i say, i got infected by the virus that makes you crazy about writing hollanov in group chats

Cassie B

😭Caitlin D


Ilya H-R

Oh my god

I forgot about that!!


Shane H-R

Titanic violinist?


Caitlin D

First year Joshy did Valentine’s Day for Nic, he hired what he thought was a string quartet

But turned out to be solo divorcée who played Titanic for them
💀Nicole B


Cassie B

And chatted non-stop about his bitch ex-wife

That part is important!


Shane H-R

Holy shit, that is bleak

Titanic isn’t even the best string piece you could play?

https://www.youtube.com/874sf3s…


Ilya H-R

SHANE

Up???


Shane H-R

It’s pretty!


Selena C

I AM COOKEDDD 😂

You said ‘don’t do bleak’ and then sent Up??????


Harris D

That is EMOTIONAL WARFARE 😭😭


Cassie B

ARE YOU ON FUCKING CRACK, HOLLANDER? 🫨

WE DON’T JUST WHIP OUT UP


Nicole B

you’re really out here doing dead old people music for valentines day

wowzers


Caitlin D

I bet he doesn’t know that Ilya sobbed at it


Ilya H-R

Shut your mouth, Dykstra

Or I will tell Evan to write another song


Caitlin D

EVIL RUSSIAN BAD GUY 🫵


Shane H-R

Oh baby, you cried at Up?

You’re so cute 😘


Nicole B

strike one


Shane H-R

Fucks sake


Harris D

Tell us the rule!

We know you know it!


Ilya H-R

Say the rule, sweetheart


Caitlin D

Or the next Wine Friday is on your dime


Shane H-R

God no, you’re all animals

No making Nicole believe in love on the chat.


Nicole B

thank you 🙂‍↕️


Shane H-R

But you literally just asked about Valentine’s Day??


Nicole B

in an ironic way

very cool, unbothered


Ilya H-R

Hold on

It is the end of January already?


Selena C

Yeah babe?????

O-Town’s Fillies Back Again 🐎👩🏽🥵

Wednesday January 29th, 8.37pm


Shane H-R

So what’s your problem, Nic?


Nicole B

you know j, he’s a romantic


Shane H-R

He is?

I mean, he just talks about your ass constantly


Nicole B

well exactly 😏
😂Selena C, Lisa H


Ilya H-R

So just show him your ass then, Nic

It will work

Also @Lisa H, when you get this please check your texts


Cassie B

He’s so right, Nic 🤷


Caitlin D

Put whipped cream on it


Selena C

NO!!!

Don’t do that, I did it once and oh my GODDD the pimples I got 💀


Nicole B

annoyingly i need it to be more special than that

he’s been very cute recently


Shane H-R

Ooooh, cute how?


Caitlin D

Gossip Girl has entered the chat
😂Nicole B, Ilya H-R, Harris D


Shane H-R

Oh my god, I am NOT THAT BAD


Ilya H-R

Hide your secrets, ladies!! 🤐


Shane H-R

Get over here and say that to my face.


Harris D

Ruh roh!!


Nicole B

boys

now is not the time for an anger bang
😏Cassie B


Ilya H-R

Shit


Caitlin D

Literally proving our point, @Shane H-R

Big ol’ slut
😭Cassie B


Nicole B

anyway

will not be taking questions about this so don’t ask, but family drama

and j has been kind of amazing during it all


Ilya H-R

Are you really properly sure we are not related


Nicole B

europeans don’t have a monopoly on crap families, kiddo


Ilya H-R

I am just saying

The signs are all there

Do you want one very sexy hockey brother and one shitbag brother we do not talk to?

He will ring you angrily once every 4-5 years to call you a slur

Maybe ask for money


Nicole B

tempting offer

but i’m actually so okay, thanks


Ilya H-R

Worth a try


Cassie B

So he’s been good about it?


Nicole B

so good

like dealing with people’s drama without even telling me good


Caitlin D

Josh is such an enigma

Most unserious man on the planet 99% of the time


Nicole B

sexy maury povich the other 1%
💀Cassie B

so we gotta go big on v-day this year


Shane H-R

Ilya, what was that band he was listening to in the locker room the other day?


Ilya H-R

You actually need to stop this
😂Nicole B


Shane H-R

What?


Ilya H-R

I know you know who The Beatles are
💀Nicole B


Harris D

OH MY GODDDDDD 😂


Caitlin D

Where were you even raised, Shane?

In a barn?


Shane H-R

I’m only kidding!

My high school girlfriend played Come Together on the clarinet at the school recital



Ilya H-R

Your high school what


Caitlin D

Oh Jesus 🥴


Selena C

SHANE

PLEASEEEEEE DON’T DO THIS 😭


Shane H-R

@Ilya H-R, stop yelling in the garden

God, TMZ and everyone else knows your sexual history


Ilya H-R

Ugh, fine

Just remember that I am the most obsessed with you


Cassie B

Like literally anyone could forget babe


Nicole B

ah ah! strike two


Ilya H-R

Fuck, sorry


Lisa H

Hey girls!! Sorry, I just got off shift

What are we talking about?


Caitlin D

Hey hottie!

Nic needs to charm J for V-day 😏


Lisa H

OOOOH

What do we have so far??

 


 

Dr Lisa

Wednesday January 29th, 8.50pm


Ilya

Lisa! Please kick Shane out of the group chat?


Dr Lisa

I don’t know what’s happening here

But no!


Ilya

FUCK


Dr Lisa

Why??



Ilya

I forgot about Valentine’s Day!!!! 😭


Dr Lisa

HAHAHAHA

Oh sweetie 😂

 


 

O-Town’s Fillies Back Again 🐎👩🏽🥵

Wednesday January 29th, 8.53pm


Nicole B

everyone needs to tell me what they’re finding sexy right now

for inspiration


Selena C

Nick’s thighhhhssssss


Nicole B

not what i was after

but hell yeah, babe!


Caitlin D

Just like a really filthy sext
😏Nicole B

Tried and tested


Harris D

Seconded!


Ilya H-R

Shane’s perfect everything


Nicole B

boooooooo tomato tomato


Shane H-R

Don’t tomato my everything!
🍅Nicole B, Caitlin D, Cassie B, Selena C

Ilya’s everything too


Nicole B

you are both so unhelpful

and you are this close to strike three


Cassie B

A full night of sleep

Zane taking the diaper bin out

A shirt that doesn’t have vomit on it


Caitlin D

You are truly a billboard for parenthood
😂Harris D, Selena C


Ilya H-R

@Cassie B, we have Saturday free if you want us to have Milo for a couple of hours?


Shane H-R

Yeah, we can take him! Mom wants to see him anyway.


Cassie B

Oh my GOD

Really??

I can have a bath

WE CAN BOTH TAKE NAPS 😭


Shane H-R

Of course! I’ll text you tomorrow ❤️


Cassie B

I would die for you both

What’s your charge?


Ilya H-R

We do not need paying ever!!

My godson lives here rent free whenever he wants
❤️Cassie B

Unless my Boody wants to make some pork belly


Shane H-R

Oh, we’ll absolutely take that


Cassie B

Done


Nicole B

cassie, i have newfound respect for you running this group like the military

this is like herding cats

please give me ideas!!

paging dr @Lisa H


Lisa H

Okay, I’m up to date!!

Nic, why not cook him dinner?


Caitlin D

So you mean Uber Eats


Lisa H

No, actually cook!


Selena C

HONEY

SHE WILL GO TO JAILLLL
😂Harris D


Shane H-R

Are you really that bad, Nic?


Nicole B

i can bake, but actual meals are out

god knew he could either give me a pornstar body or the ability to make dinner

i’d be too powerful with both


Lisa H

Okay, so no to dinner then 💀

Wait, didn’t he start fishing with Evan recently?


Ilya H-R

Oh my god

My boys are all so boring


Shane H-R

You literally bought a sudoku subscription last week


Selena C

LOSSSSSSSER!!


Harris D

This intel 🫖


Cassie B

Oh girl 😭

That is midlife crisis behaviour


Caitlin D

Do we need to call a nightclub-based intervention?


Nicole B

this group is useless

sexy but so useless


Shane H-R

I know for a fact it’s not useless!

You literally all helped Ilya with Valentine’s Day before


Ilya H-R

@Cassie B I texted you

 


 

Caitlin 🫪

Wednesday January 29th, 9.01pm


Caitlin

So that’s why you want Shane out of the chat


Ilya

I fucking forgot Valentines, Dykstra


Caitlin

LMAOOO 😂

 


 

Lady Boyle

Wednesday January 29th, 9.02pm


Lady Boyle

oh hell no

now i know you were not trying to steal my help thunder


Ilya

Nicole

Please, I need this


Lady Boyle

get fucked, daddio


Ilya

Remember the horrible year I had being outed to the world


Lady Boyle

same year you got married, moved in with your husband, and had him join your team?

oh, and you got a godson?

that year?


Ilya

Damnit


Lady Boyle

uninvite me from your pity party

 


 

O-Town’s Fillies Back Again 🐎👩🏽🥵

Wednesday January 29th, 9.07pm


Lisa H

@Nicole B, do something fishing related!

Buy him a weekend away somewhere?

Or some new gear?


Nicole B

hmm he’s all good for gear

but a weekend could work!


Caitlin D

She told me that she finds the gear hot


Nicole B

you were told that in confidence, snake 🐍


Harris D

PLEASE!! 😭


Caitlin D

“I want to fuck him in the waders, Cait”


Selena C

LMAOOO SURELY NOT??? 😂😂


Shane H-R

He wouldn’t be able to fuck you in the waders?

They fasten over the shoulder, right?

And I assume to stay watertight there’s no fly situation?


Cassie B

Captain Harlot over here thinking about wader sex logistics 💀


Ilya H-R

Sweetheart, should I get waders?


Shane H-R

You don’t fish?


Ilya H-R

I could learn to

Would you fuck me in the waders


Caitlin D

I can’t stress this enough

He’d fuck you in anything


Ilya H-R

Stop luring me into strike three


Nicole B

luring! you’ve got the lingo down already

@Shane H-R unfortunately the waders will be a serious problem

the lack of access makes it sexier 😏


Shane H-R

Huh. Interesting


Ilya H-R

He is googling waders


Cassie B

Great! So we’ve established you’re going to fuck again


Harris D

And no one was shocked


Caitlin D

Honestly

If either of you could get pregnant, I would have spayed you like a stray cat by now
😂Harris D


Shane H-R

Horrifying, thank you!


Lisa H

Okay, I have a plan!

@Caitlin D why don’t you do some digging with Evan?

Get him to find a place for a boys’ fishing weekend

And then @Nicole B you organize it and pay for that?


Nicole B

dr lisa

i am going to do a sexual to you 😘

thank you!!


Lisa H

I will accept cheesecake as payment! (but never dinner)

Save the sexual for later 😘

 


 

Lady Boyle

Wednesday January 29th, 9.24pm


Ilya

NOW will you kick Shane out of the chat??


Lady Boyle

still no


Ilya

Hate crime

 


 

Nicole, Cass, Harris, Cait, Selena + Dr Lisa

Wednesday January 29th, 9.27pm


Nicole

has ilya texted anyone else?


Cait

About kicking Shane out? Yessir


Nicole

and i take it we all said never ever ever


Cait

Correct

@Harris did he text you?


Harris

Hell no! He knows I do NOT get involved in hockey boy drama ❌


Dr Lisa

I feel kind of bad 😔

He just wants to organize something for his husband!


Selena

OHHHH is that what it’s about???

Awwwwww 😢


Cass

You don’t need to feel bad!

Truth time


Selena

???????


Cass

I’m already helping Shane plan V-day this year


Nicole

he literally proposed last year?

how could he possibly be topping that


Cass

Secrecy pact!

He’s planning a big trip around the Mediterranean over summer
😭Caitlin, Dr Lisa, Harris, Selena


Dr Lisa

STOP!!!

They’ve never been on vacation before, right?


Cass

Right! He’s taking Ilya on a belated honeymoon for the off-season 🥰

Nicole

goddamn

why is that man so romantic

cait, are you hard right now


Cait

Go fuck yourself

But oh my GOD

Ilya’s going to shit his pants
💀Nicole


Selena

Gross???


Cait

Shit them with love?


Selena

Still gross????


Harris

Oh, he is so cute! 🥰


Cass

So let’s just agree to distract Ilya for a fortnight? Pass the buck on it until Shane tells him


Selena

DONE


Nicole

you’re telling me i have carte blanche to annoy a man?

will not be a problem


Cass

You’re so mean to him omg


Nicole

it’s a sibling rivalry thing

you wouldn’t get it

 


 

Cass

Friday January 31st, 11.12am


Shane

https://www.melia.co…

So I’ve found the PERFECT place in Ibiza, I think?


Cassie

SHANE

WHAT THE FUCK


Shane

I know!! It’s gorgeous


Cassie

You two are such drama queens for each other

I thought he was insane for that crazy Parlee Beach place


Shane

That was incredible, though

Okay, so I’m thinking we start in Ibiza, do maybe 4 nights there?

Then potentially Mallorca?


Cassie

Would it not make sense to go somewhere totally different after that?

A pool is a pool is a pool, y’know?


Shane

Damn, I don’t envy Zane

You’re a tough woman to please!


Cassie

Oh babe, let’s be serious

Someone else vacuuming my house would make it feel 7* right now


Shane

I told you to hire our housekeeper! She’s amazing

And we only have her in twice a week, so you could definitely get on her roster?


Cassie

I know

I’m literally just too tired to organize my life right now


Shane

If it’s not overstepping, I can do it?

I’ve got your address, I can set it up for you


Cassie

Literally what did I do to deserve you, Hollander???

SORRY, HOLLANDER-ROZANOV


Shane

That’s my name, feel free to wear it out forever


Cassie

Never gets old, does it? 🥰


Shane

Quite literally never 😭

Anyway, I’ll call Martha later and let you know!


Cassie

Kissing you in a way that is respectful to both our partners


Shane

😘😘


Cassie

And as your thanks: Dubrovnik

Ilya saw it on that documentary a few weeks ago, remember?


Shane

OH MY GOD, YES!

Kissing you back respectfully and platonically
👅Cassie


Cassie

And that’s totally different from that RIDICULOUS resort you sent

And then obviously you need to do a winery in Tuscany!

So that I can live vicariously through you


Shane

Do you want to be my travel agent for the rest of time?


Cassie

I take 75% commission


Shane

Absolute robbery

https://www.borgoscopetorel…


Cassie

Helping you plan this was the literal worst idea I’ve ever had

I’m SO JEALOUSSSS 😩


Shane

Here’s a deal for you:

You help me plan this, and when Milo’s old enough to be left for a longer period of time, we’ll have him for a week and you can live your European fantasy with Zane


Cassie

I am so fragile right now, Shaney

I cannot handle empty promises


Shane

Not empty! You know we love having him.

Besides, Ilya would kill for a week straight with him


Cassie

You’re gonna need to make a father out of that boy one day!


Shane

I’m honestly this fucking close


Cassie

Parking that before I start crying 😭

But you know what this means, right?


Shane

??


Cassie

Intercontinental fuckfest 😏


Shane

Oh, Cass

Don’t threaten me with a good time 😏


Cassie

“I’m not a slut” ???


Shane

Well, I can’t admit it in front of him!

His ego is big enough


Cassie

Sure Jan 😂

 


 

Lady Boyle

Friday January 31st, 6.55pm


Ilya

You said you did not want to talk about it

But as the king of not talking about shit families

I am here if you need


Lady Boyle

thanks, pookie

might take you up on it soon

but it’s a lot right now


Ilya

No pressure

Twins stick together


Lady Boyle

i’ve never asked

does that stuff bother you?


Ilya

Stuff?


Lady Boyle

the me secretly being a russian sibling thing

it’s always been a joke but i guess i’ve never considered if it bothers you

me saying privet and whatever


Ilya

I like it

My home is here now, but my home was there once

And it was not all good, but is nice to think about sometimes


Lady Boyle

yeah?


Ilya

Yes

I live my whole life in English, I have Canadian husband and Canadian residency

I have been here so long I sometimes forget

And it is good to have the reminder of this bit of me

Also, having a sibling who is not world’s biggest cunt is a nice dream


Lady Boyle

okay, i’m glad

we found out my dad has a kid in vermont

seems he had an affair for years while i was in elementary school

mom is, to put it lightly, fucking losing it


Ilya

What a fucker

Thank you for telling me

Want me to teach you how to swear in Russian?


Lady Boyle

god yes


Ilya

[voice note attached, duration 02:47]

Ilya H-R

I do not need to touch a carp for sex purposes

One thing many years of long distance gives you is an excellent imagination


Caitlin D

Good morning, sweet prince!


Bood

ello gorgeous


Ilya

Your wife is ignoring me


Bood

very big hmmmm incoming

(aimed at you)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Ilya

Stop being weird about your wife


Bood

you mean the mother of my child

the light of my life

better half of my soul

that one?


Ilya

Yes, that one

Ooh, better half of the soul is a good one

Don’t tell Shane next time I use it


Bood

you can’t out-romance the chief romancer 😏

never been done


Ilya

Did I piss her off?


Bood

cass? she hasn’t said anything


Ilya

She does not usually ignore me

I know she is very busy being world’s best mama

But she is replying on the WAG chat


Bood

we are taking turns with one brain cell at the moment

she might just have forgotten to get back to you

would you like me to snoop...


Ilya

Would you like to snoop?


Bood

of course i would like to snoop

it’s my favourite thing to do


Ilya

Is why you and Shane get on so well

Two gossipy queens


Bood

oh i know, brother

i get all the deets 👀


Ilya

???

Deets about what?

What deets


Bood

🤐🤐


Ilya

Oh I see how it is

Now I am chopped liver


Bood

never chopped

lightly mushed, maybe

let me snoop and i’ll get back to you


Ilya

Thank you!!

Also we can have Milo again soon if you need

Because I am such a good friend

Your BEST ONE, REMEMBER?


Bood

and this is nothing to do with your long game to steal my son


Ilya

I do not want to steal him!

I will love him so much that he will come to me of his own free will


Bood

that is ominous


Ilya

😈😈

Okay I have to go watch Shane do laundry


Bood

uhh

do i want to know?


Ilya

Ah, Boody 😏

Maybe you do not want to snoop about this


Bood

heaving a wearied ‘get some’ for my boy


Ilya

Gratefully received 🙏


Bood

he’s saying blue is fine because he knows you like it


Ilya

I KNEW IT!! Stubborn man

Thank you, darling 💋


Bood

Bood 🥵🏒

Thursday February 6th, 11.38am


Bood

ilya grigorievich hollander-rozanov kennedy onassis junior

why did you ask to have your husband kicked out of the wag chat??

shame on you!


Ilya

I do not have a plan for Valentine’s Day!! 😭

I am in a crisis and I need the WAGs to help


Bood

just make a separate chat?


Ilya

I am banned

Harris said I am not allowed after I kept making new chats to send photos of my daughter


Bood

and why did you need a new chat for anya pics?


Ilya

Because I tried to send 46 at once


Bood

you’re such a loser 💀


Ilya

You sent me 100 photos of Milo last month!!


Bood

a) you asked for them

b) my wife actually literally birthed him


Ilya

Shane birthed Anya


Bood

c’mon man, i have to see him at practice tomorrow 😩


Ilya

The miracle of childbirth is beautiful and natural


Bood

i know!! i’ve seen an actual one!! my son’s!!


Ilya

Blah blah

I need the WAGs to help, Boody!


Bood

you’ve done the big stuff now

does it need to be huge?


Ilya

Is my Shane

I always want it to be huge

Our first Valentine’s Day as husbands!


Bood

if that d-man from tampa could see this chat

he would be asking who knocked his front tooth out last week

because this is not that man


Ilya

I contain multitudes

Will you please help me? Please? 🙏

What are you doing with Cassie?


Bood

quite literally nothing

i think she would punch me if i suggested voluntarily leaving the house when we’re this tired

dinner, probably


Ilya

Maybe I could do a good dinner too

Have you consulted your magic Pinterest board yet?


Bood

oooooh yes, king

there’s a marinated lamb shank whispering to my grill


Ilya

Goddamn

Okay I need that link


Bood

ZB🔥 shared a link with you on Pinterest! https://www.pinter…


Ilya

Holy fuck

Your grilling pinboard is like pornhub


Bood

what kind of porn are you watching, dude


Ilya

Can you imagine

JACKED Bear Pounds Raw (Meat)!! [18+]


Bood

stop making me laugh when i’m trying to get milo down 😂

hot local beefcakes (literally) in your area!!


Ilya

That link would have so many viruses


Bood

oh and you’d know, would you


Ilya

When I was a younger, lonelier man

My laptop would have had them all too
💀Bood

 


 

Cass

Thursday February 6th, 6.14pm


Cassie

We may have a problem…


Shane

What??


Cassie

Z’s been snooping today


Shane

Fork found in kitchen
😂Cass


Cassie

I managed to distract him, but he’s got a good memory!!


Shane

You can’t tell him!

You know he’ll tell his brother-lover immediately


Cassie

I know! He’s persistent, though


Shane

Wait

Why does Bood know to ask anything?


Cassie

I think Ilya put him up to it...

Because I may be ignoring texts from him 🙈


Shane

Is that why he called you out in the chat the other day?

What did he ask?


Cassie

Okay, you can’t get mad


Shane

I’m literally already mad now you’ve said that


Cassie

Shane!! He’s doing it because he means well 😭

Because he wants our help planning V-day again!


Shane

What did he say??


Cassie

He asked me to kick you out of the chat


Shane

HE FUCKING WHAT

Oh he’s a dead man


Cassie

He wants our help to organize something for you!

And remember Harris banned him from making new chats after Anya-gate?


Shane

I don’t care

I AM THE ORIGINAL WAG! NOT HIM!


Cassie

Come onnnn, babe!

You know he’s just sitting there freaking out because he wants to plan something amazing for you


Shane

I will probably find this adorable later

But first I have to kill him

Thursday February 6th, 6.25pm


Shane H-R

@Harris D, I meant to ask!

Have you planned anything for Valentine’s for Troy yet?


Harris D

We’re just going low key!!

Imagine if I took that man out for a flashy dinner 😂😂


Caitlin D

World record for least amount of eye contact given to a waiter


Selena C

LMAOOOOOO


Shane H-R

That’s cute, though! I bet he’ll like it.

Better than trying to get a reservation anywhere half-decent this late in the game 🤪

 


 

Cass

Thursday February 6th, 6.29pm


Cassie

Oh, you’re fucking EVIL evil huh?


Shane

If I get angry to his face it just turns him on 🤷


Cassie

The way you just offer this shit up now 💀

 


 

Bood 🥵🏒

Friday February 7th, 7.56am


Bood

breakfast danish today 👀

breakfast danish today queen??

breakfast danish today 👀


Ilya

You are a scrounger who wants to get me in trouble with Shane

I will hear Ilya you are going to get diabetes and die

Ilya you are going to give Bood diabetes and then you will be murdering a father

Ilya you are going to be on blood pressure medication for old people


Bood

okay but

breakfast danish today?


Ilya

Fucking fine, I will pick it up on the way to practise

Pistachio?

And skimmed flat white?


Bood

you love me so well 💋

may have a gift for you in return…


Ilya

You should have led with that

Yes??


Bood

ZB🔥 shared a link with you on Pinterest! https://www.pinter…

i have hereby built you a valentine’s dinner pinboard

3 courses, tailored to the kitchen utensils i know you own

all with macro counts


Ilya

Boody

I am going to give you diabetes

I am about to buy you 15 pastries

THANK YOU!!! ❤️


Bood

found a salmon & roasted veg traybake that actually could be on pornhub

that was a very enlightening find for me


Ilya

It is never too late to learn about yourself

I recently learned that I enjoy slapping!

So does Shane 😏


Bood

oh my god

so now i have to see your husband and think about him birthing a dog and slapping you with a hard on 😭

great


Ilya

And I have to think about you jacking off to a fish dinner

Do not play the victim in this


Bood

you know what, that’s fair


Ilya

https://www.alltrails.co…

I found a new hike for Shane too

I think the weather is meant to be good on the 14th

So I will take him on that because he is a sexy exercise psychopath

And then dinner

And then maybe a bath because I bought new candles

And I have already ordered flowers


Bood

you’re going to get arrested

what’s the charge, i hear you cry?

81 counts of downbaddery


Ilya

You think it is okay?

Is enough?


Bood

brother, he’ll love it!

you’ll definitely get a slap out of it 😏


Ilya

Here is to hoping 🤞


Bood

you see, the little romance goblin was inside you the whole time


Ilya

If I am lucky, I will be the one getting inside 😈


Bood

man come on 😭

fuck off and get my danish


Ilya

So rude to your very best friend in the world

 


 

O-Town’s Fillies Back Again 🐎👩🏽🥵

Saturday February 8th, 12.21pm


Caitlin D

JUST SAW TARA IN WHOLE FOODS


Cassie B

Holy shit?? She’s back


Shane H-R

Wait, she moved?


Caitlin D

We thought she did! After her cheater boyfriend broke up with her


Ilya H-R

No, she is still here!

Got a job as a receptionist for a construction company just outside town in November


Nicole B

how do you know literally everything 👀


Ilya H-R

This one is a long story


Cassie B

Well I have Milo on me, so I’ve got nothing but time…


Ilya H-R

Photo please!


Cassie B

[image attached]
❤️Ilya H-R, Shane H-R


Caitlin D

I am SAT

Literally, I’m now waiting to pick Ev up from the dentist


Ilya H-R

Okay

I went to Michaels just before Christmas to get a Santa hat for Anya
😂Caitlin D


Nicole B

objectively ridiculous sentence for a 6 foot hockey player to say


Ilya H-R

I did not hear you complaining when you got the family Christmas card?


Nicole B

true, proceed


Ilya H-R

Anyway, so said hello to Judith

Which as usual means “please spend 85 hours telling me about your life”
😭Caitlin D

Told me that Sandra from her club’s daughter closed the candle company

Because she was avoiding taxes and got caught


Shane H-R

WHAT

HOW DID YOU NOT TELL ME THIS?


Ilya H-R

I forgot, I am sorry!

So her daughter had to go get a job, started working as an assistant

For a guy who owns a construction company just out of town


Cassie B

OMG

WORLDS COLLIDING


Caitlin D

Why is this city six people big


Ilya H-R

Gets better because Sandra was saying that her daughter was complaining

Saying that the new receptionist was a rude cow

Kept trying to flirt with all the men at the staff Christmas party

I asked if she had a picture


Caitlin D

And of course we’d recognize that boob job from space


Nicole B

maybe it’s you who’s gossip girl, actually 🤔


Shane H-R

I’ve been TRYING to tell you this!


Cassie B

We need to avoid that construction company like the plague
😂Caitlin D, Shane H-R

If they’re hiring candle criminals and TARA


Ilya H-R

I will get the name next time I go

I need to pick some things up for Yuna soon


Shane H-R

Liar!

Mom wouldn’t be caught dead getting stuff from Michaels

Share the real reason with the class, please…


Ilya H-R

Sweetheart!!


Caitlin D

I’ll bring you a breakfast sandwich on Monday if you say


Ilya H-R

Fuck, fine

Lisa is helping me make Anya a birthday outfit for start of March


Nicole B

oh my god 


Caitlin D

How do you know when her birthday is? She’s a rescue?


Ilya H-R

She feels like a Pisces
😂Caitlin D, Nicole B, Cassie B

 


 

Cassie Bood 👸

Saturday February 8th, 4.25pm


Ilya

Cassie

Did I do something to upset you?

Boody does not think so, but I am sorry if I did

 


 

Cass

Saturday February 8th, 4.26pm


Cassie

SHANEY, PLEASE

I HAVE TWELVE MESSAGES FROM HIM 😭😭

He’s breaking my heart!!!

[image attached]


Shane

Fuck

He hasn’t said anything to me

Oh, my baby 😭


Cassie

I won’t give anything away, but please!!

I can’t keep doing this to him 💔


Shane

Yeah, please

I don’t want him to be upset!

 


 

Cassie Bood 👸

Saturday February 8th, 4.29pm


Cassie

Good afternoon, honey

Of course you haven’t upset me!

Sorry I’ve been awful


Ilya

Okay, that is good

I was just worried but maybe I was being stupid

But you were not replying here


Cassie

You weren’t being stupid, you were being observant and sensitive and that’s fine

And I’m sorry I didn’t reply!

I think it’s because I knew where it was going?


Ilya

Ah, Valentine’s Day

Maybe I should not have asked all the girls to kick Shane out of the WAG chat


Cassie

I mean, absolutely not

And you know we never would! Either of you!

We love you both so much ❤️


Ilya

I know, we love you too

I am just a little stressed

I have a plan but I will never be able to match what he did last year


Cassie

Sweetie, you don’t need to match anything!

You love him, he loves you

You could walk in with one of his gross protein shakes and he’d think you hung the moon!


Ilya

I know, is just the first year I get to celebrate with my husband

And I feel like my plan is shit

I am going to make dinner and I have a new hike route, that is it


Cassie

Ilya, you know full well that is Shane’s perfect day


Ilya

It should be bigger


Cassie

Why?

The size of the gesture isn’t the thing, it’s the thought!

And you’ve thought about what will make him happy


Ilya

I guess


Cassie

God I’m sorry, I’m an ass for ignoring you 😭

I could have just said this before

Forgive me?


Ilya

Of course ❤️

But I will take your son as an apology gift


Cassie

Oh my god, you are so ridiculous 😂

What about you both come over for a cuddle tonight?

I’ll make dinner?


Ilya

What do you think I am?

Some vile man who makes a new mother cook for him?

No! We will bring takeout

But yes to cuddles, please

With Milo but you can have one too ❤️


Cassie

Are you going to stop worrying about V-day?


Ilya

I will try

Probably not though


Cassie

If I tell you something, you need to promise you will ask no follow-up questions

TO ANYONE!

Okay?


Ilya

Okay?


Cassie

I mean it! Not a soul


Ilya

🤐🔒


Cassie

You definitely, definitely do not need to worry about it this year ❤️


Ilya

??

Oh my god what has that man done


Cassie

WHAT DID I JUST SAY?


Ilya

IT WAS RHETORICAL!!

Oh my god is he proposing to me again

I will say yes again


Cassie

ILYA!!


Ilya

Okay, I will say nothing I promise!

BUT AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH 😭😭


Cassie

I’m really sorry for ignoring you, babes

Get here for 7?

I’ll get Z to put some beer in the fridge


Ilya

Maybe I should be sad and pathetic more often

This has really worked out for me

 


 

Cass

Saturday February 8th, 4.48pm


Cassie

You two are coming over for dinner later!


Shane

We are? Fun!

Is he okay?


Cassie

Yeah, he’s fine

But I feel so bad 😭

I swear he’s like my first son


Shane

Does that make me your son-in-law?


Cassie

Yes

Treat him right or I’ll kill you 🗡️


Shane

I finally got the shovel talk!
😂Cassie


Cassie

[image attached]


Shane

“I will say yes again”

GOD

THIS MAN 😭


Cassie

Go and get it out of your system, please!

I don’t need fuck me eyes across my dinner table


Shane

Yes ma’am 🫡


Cassie

Once again, ladies and gentlemen 🙄

Shane “I’m not a slut” Hollander-Rozanov

Shane H-R

From experience, agreed with Lisa

If he’s got a big idea, let him play it out!


Ilya H-R

That is what I did with Shane


Shane H-R

You screamed like you’d won Miss World when you opened the door
😂Cassie B, Caitlin D

And then you cried for 5 hours straight

Ilya H-R

Harris, it is easy! Do you want to marry Troy?


Harris D

Ilya

That would actually be great on the jerseys

But we do not know for sure!

So we need to pick up any clues today


Bood

Ilya

Do not ask stupid questions, darling

Shane is gossip Sherlock Holmes, he is already sleuthing 🕵️‍♂️


Bood

okay so we’re two days out from v-day

so we’re looking for flop sweat, phone never face up, shaky answers to plans, potentially a full body twitch if harris walks in the room

ooh, do you think we can orchestrate that


Ilya

I will text him

How do you know all of this?


Bood

because i’ve proposed, brother!

it’s fucking terrifying


Ilya

Even if you know they will say yes?

Okay, Harris says he will swing by after practise


Bood

hoooooo yeah, even then

you’re so worried about everything going to plan

it’s you finding a way to tell the person you love most in the world that you want to love them forever

there is nothing not scary about it


Ilya

Fuck 😭

I need to go and kiss my husband


Bood

be on time for practise, please!

i am not explaining that to wiebe

Cassie

He’s going to love it!

That place in Dubrovnik is unbelievable


Shane

Your babysitting offer is ready to be redeemed as soon as you want!


Cassie

I love you boys so much 😭

Please send that Tuscany place to Z as subtly or unsubtly as feels right!

I pushed his giant baby out, I deserve it

My vaginal canal deserves it


Shane

I’ll send him the link!

Probably without the note about the vaginal canal, though


Cassie

Afterword

End Notes

so you may or may not know that after having back surgery and life looking kind of shit for a bit i wrote a string of standalone works in prose, which you can find here. however! i also wrote a new text series called the boston year that isn't related to this world but tracks the year with ilya in boston (no one was paying me to be inventive with the name ok). if you're willing to overlook some key character differences, why not read it as a prequel - unless you're reading it with the general poor sentiment of a star wars early 00s prequel in which case don't (controversial yet brave take is the phantom menace is fucking fantastic but i won't get into that here)

i've loosely set this around 2024 which is probably still too late for just post-tlg but it's! my! world! and also i want ilya to be a doja cat stan and she headlined coachella that year don't @ me about it

please feel free to say hi, i'm a former gifted and talented student now middling through my early 30s so any kind of positive reinforcement is taken quite literally to heart <3
