“Okay.” J.J. finished his beer, depositing the bottle on the coffee table and looked at Ilya. “Do you wanna play a game?”
Another eyebrow raise from Ilya.
“I call it Jackie or Shane, a game where I tell you an actual real quote that I heard Hayden say and you have to guess if he said it to his wife or his best friend.”
Ilya blinked.
J.J. held eye contact.
“Let’s do this.”

Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are solid.
Married. Stable. Established. The NHL’s favorite “we didn’t see that coming” love story turned domestic success.
They have a house. A dog that likes Ilya better. A shared calendar that Shane actually uses.
They’ve learned how to grocery shop without arguing about brands of pasta.
They are, objectively, fine.
Which is precisely the problem.
Somewhere between sponsorship shoots, playoff runs, and arguing over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, the fire that once burned hot enough to survive secrecy and rivalry has… softened. Not gone. Not broken. Just familiar.
Comfortable. Predictable.When a league marketing campaign crowns them “Hockey’s Ultimate Love Story” and assigns a documentary crew to follow them around for the season, Shane jokingly tells Ilya:
“Guess you’re going to have to fall in love with me again on camera.”Ilya smirks. “Please. I could make you fall in love with me again in one week.”
It’s a joke.
Until it becomes a challenge.
