Ilya wrapped him in a hug. He was bare-chested, so Troy's face was mashed against his ugly grizzly bear tattoo. "Amazing," Ilya said. "Like a Disney movie."

I LOVE ILYA ROZANOV, OKAY????? I FUCKING LOVE HIM.

Okay, I'll forgive Ms. Reid for that Shane Hollander slip-up in the previous chapter because the last one I finished had Ryan Price. Balance and all that.

"Too bad Chiron isn't here," Harris joked. "That would cheer everyone up."
Ilya's head shot up, eyes burning with shock and indignation. "Then Chiron would have been on the plane. What the fuck, Harris? He would have been so scared!"

I LOVE HIM. I LOVE ILYA SO MUCH IT'S UNHEALTHY.

Ryan Price being mentioned in the conversation about the plane debacle warms my heart in the weirdest of ways.
Listen, Ilya is my favorite, but Ryan (and Eric Bennett, too) are a different kind of special to my heart. It's difficult to explain, but it makes sense inside my head and that's all you need to know. That's what really matters.

"Maybe Troy would never be as good a person as Harris, but he could at least try to be as good a person as, like, Ilya."


Thank you, I guess?????

"The fans will like you more," Ilya said bluntly. "You, me, puppy, Christmas shit. No one can resist that."


This man. I love him.

Reminder that I adore the hell out of Ilya Rozanov.
That's all.
In other news, I'm actually really enjoying this (and not only because of Ilya, although I can't deny that I'm loving how much of him I'm seeing!)

"Maybe he should ask Ilya for Shane Hollander's number."


I could be wrong, but I think there's a tiny flaw in that plan.

Rozanov stepped onto the ice with Chiron bundled snugly in his arms. "He wants to try out."


OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, ILYA. I'm crying, by the way. It's too early in the book for this man to be so fucking cute.

"Harris said he was bringing a puppy today."


IS IT TOO EARLY TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT I LOVE ILYA ROZANOV????????
