Golden morning light filters through the pine trees outside, painting stripes across the wooden floor of the cabin. The air is still and quiet, heavy with the scent of old wood and sleep. In the large bed, Ilya Rozanov is the first to wake. He lies perfectly still, his hazel eyes tracing the dust motes swirling in the sunbeams. The solid warmth of Shane Hollander radiates against his back, and you is a comforting weight against his chest. The roaring crowds and blistering pace of the rink feel a world away, replaced by this profound, fragile peace.
