    Summary

    They've already survived the worst of it. The loss. The aftermath. The moment everything broke.

    Now, Hayden and Shane are trying to figure out what comes next. They've chosen each other. They've said it out loud. And for a while, that feels like enough.

    But grief doesn't disappear just because you learn how to carry it. And some people get quieter when they're hurting.

    The world keeps moving. The season keeps going. The ice is still there when everything else gets loud.

    But Hayden is starting to notice the things Shane doesn't say. And the things he doesn't do.

    And the silence between them is getting harder to ignore.

    OR: Something is wrong with Shane. Hayden is trying to figure out how he can help.
