“I choose him. Come on, Ilya.” — Shane (p.367)

There were A LOT of happenings I’ve expected that happened this update:

• the snickers bar…

• the trophy room scene…

• JJ’s reaction…

I love that Svetlana calls Ilya boring, I get where Ilya started calling Shane boring comes from.

Hollanov being mentioned as a couple’s name…omfg (p.325)

HM (p321)

I was NOT ready for Shane’s proposal…my heart started beating so fast and I’m so so happy!!!!!!!!!!!

“There’s nothing in my life that matters to me more than you, Ilya.” — Shane (p.268)

“I already chose you, Hollander.” — Ilya (p.240) my heart broke

HM (p.244) (p.260)

“It was possible he had more in common with Troy Barrett than he would’ve guessed.” (p.202)

That Shane had written an apology for an hour…my heart…Seeing Role Model from another perspective was certainly interesting. I don’t want to talk about Christmas, okay? And the plane scene from Ilya’s perspective and Shane crying, I was not okay…I literally cried.

“I love hockey, and I deserve to have the career I want for as long as I want it. I’ve earned that. But if I had to choose…I’d choose him.” — Ilya (p.192)

Now I hate that mf even more. Why the f did Crowell say that to Shane, he’s so f disgusting.

I forgot to mention Ilya and Shane’s cute pretend wedding with Hayden’s children in the last update, I cried if that wasn’t obvious. (p. 136)

Crowell, I hate that mf.

“I wanted to say that you are fucking everything to me. Everything. Okay?” — Ilya (p.130)

Uncle Ilya 🥹

The plug-in is so unhinged lol. Especially after the Halloween party…

”Do what makes you happy. Live how you want, love who you want. People will judge you, hate you, criticize you, but plenty more will support you and love you. And in the end, no one matters except the people you care about.” — Rose (p.109)

HM (p. 113)

Hayden and Shane talking about parenthood made me want to bawl. And then Hayden proceeding to tell Shane that Ilya would be a good dad—healed.
