Summary
Irina always waits for him on the top step of the staircase at the dacha.
She is wearing a dark blue dress with long sleeves (the one she was buried in), gold earrings, a baptismal cross on a chain, and her wedding ring. Her feet — as always at the dacha — are bare, and for some reason it is precisely them that he remembers most vividly: Irina’s legs are strong, beautiful legs — the legs of a skier, an athlete, a restless mother of two sons.
He always thinks that Irina is waiting for him. This is the natural order of things. The husband is the provider, the wife the keeper of the hearth. He earns money every day; she makes sure he has the strength to do so. A firm, unquestionable routine they have been working at for years, since the very beginning of their marriage. He knows Irina can be lazy, but he is certain that with proper attention and patience this can someday be amended.
When dementia gnaws at Grigory Rozanov’s brain until nothing remains but its honest bare core, he wakes up in the middle of the night, struck by a sudden thought sharp as a migraine.
Irina is not waiting for him. Irina is waiting for death.

Summary
The game had been long, and Shane Hollander had been a pain in the ass as usual. Not only because of his skill but also because he was distractingly pretty on the ice. These years somehow more so than when they had been Rookies. Or Ilya had just learned how to appreciate it, whatever that was supposed to mean. This newfound appreciation however didn’t help when he had to face off with Shane and he darted out his tongue to wet his lips. Distracting Ilya immensely, his mind wandering off to what Shane could do with that tongue. Or the times when Ilya shoved Shane against the barricade and felt his rival’s body underneath his. Only to be reminded of all the times Ilya had gotten Shane underneath him without all that protective gear.
---
They had been doing this for years by now. And by now they had a routine they stuck to. There was a city where their teams would play each other, there was a text and a suggestion for a place. Then they played the game and riled each other up. Afterwards, they met up in secret to fuck. That was what they did and what Ilya was used to.
Until Ilya received a text after their hook up that disrupted their routine for the first time after years.
