Summary:

“I worry that I’m choosing hockey over my family, Ilya.” It is a ridiculous notion, and they both know it. Still, the words need to be said. “No.” Ilya pulls back a bit to look at Shane, and god, those eyes are going to kill him one day with how deep they are, with how many emotions they hold. “No?” Shane echoes. There is a question in it, and Ilya is happy to answer it for him. ___ Shane is going on his first road trip with the Centaurs since their daugther was born.
