Summary:

Set after Heated Rivalry, mini spoilers for The Long Game since it's set around the start of that book

An exploration of J.J and Hayden as not-so-great friends, from Shane's POV. Ends on a hopeful note for Shane overall but not in regards to his two longtime friends.

Also featuring a cute text exchange between Shane and Ilya + a sweet conversation in the Hollander family groupchat!
