Summary:

Hayden Pike met Shane Hollander when they were both 17. Now, a decade later, he thinks he knows him pretty well. Or: Hayden Pike figures it out, or maybe he knows all along; not knowing in a literal sense maybe, but in the way one knows one’s best friend, the way one soul knows another: so it’s less a matter of finding out, but more one of - oh, there you are, how nice it is to see all of you. Or: Hayden Pike has always thought Shane Hollander might be gay. Ilya Rozanov was only a little bit more of a surprise. WARNING: some spoilers for the end of Heated Rivalry (the book)
