July 5, 2018
Yuna: Hello, Ilya. Will you be needing help with the move?
Ilya: Hello
Ilya: No I’m sending all my things out
Ilya: Thank you
Yuna: Okay, please don’t be afraid to reach out if you need anything! I cleared my schedule for the entire week.
Ilya: There was no need, I do not want to bother you
Yuna: You wouldn’t be bothering me, Ilya. I offered. David is out of town for a convention, so I wouldn’t mind helping.
Ilya: Okay
Ilya: I will let you know
Yuna: Great!
July 25, 2018
Yuna: Hello, Ilya. How is the new place?
Ilya: Hello
Ilya: It’s nice
Ilya: Thank you for helping me find it
Yuna: Shane did most of the work, I’m sure you’re aware.
Ilya: Ah yes
Ilya: But he said you helped, so thank you
Yuna: It’s no big deal! Just reached out to an old friend of mine.
Yuna: Did everything go well with the move?
Ilya: Yes, some stuff will take longer to arrive
Ilya: But I have everything I need
Yuna: I’m glad. David and I are always available if you need anything!
Ilya: Thank you, that is very kind
Yuna: No need to thank me, Ilya.
September 2, 2018
Yuna: Ilya, good morning. Are you meeting with the team this week?
Ilya: Hello Yuna
Ilya: Not yet meeting the team, but I will speak with the coach I think
Ilya: And the trainers
Yuna: Nice! How are you feeling?
Ilya: I’m fine, but maybe I will be nervous later
Yuna: That’s understandable. If you’d like some company I could come with you.
Ilya: Maybe it would be weird to have Yuna Hollander accompany me to the arena, yes?
Ilya: I think there will be photographers
Ilya: But thank you Yuna
Yuna: You’re definitely right. I could give you a lift?
Ilya: No don’t worry, do not want you to wait in the car for so long
Yuna: I wouldn’t mind.
Ilya: Maybe another time
Ilya: Thank you for the offer
Yuna: No problem, Ilya. Shane tells me you drive fancy cars.
Ilya: He does?
Ilya: Ah
Ilya: Did he complain about my driving?
Yuna: I’m sure he exaggerates. You’re not reckless, are you?
Ilya: I promise I am not, he’s just too cautious
Ilya: Did he ask you to give me a lift so I wouldn’t drive my Porsche?
Yuna: You drive a Porsche? Which one?
Ilya: [photo]
Yuna: Wow, that’s a beautiful car. How safe is it?
Ilya: Very safe Yuna, don’t worry
Ilya: I am very careful
Yuna: You better be. Maybe you need better cars for Canada’s weather, though. I will make you a list of some good ones.
Ilya: Do you think your list will be better than Shane’s?
Yuna: He made you a list?
Yuna: Mine will be better.
Ilya: 😂
September 5, 2018
Yuna: Saw the pictures! First impression?
Ilya: Everyone was nice, good impression
Yuna: Great, hopefully everything will go smoothly.
Yuna: Listen, David and I have been talking. Would you like to have dinner with us one of these days? Don’t feel forced to say yes if you don’t feel comfortable. It’s just that we haven’t had the chance to spend time together since you moved, and we wouldn’t mind seeing you. Without Shane.
Yuna: I realize I might come across as too strong? We really wouldn’t mind getting to know you better.
Ilya: Yuna it is okay
Ilya: I would love to have dinner with you
Ilya: I could come tomorrow? That is okay with you?
Yuna: Yes, absolutely!
Ilya: Okay
September 6, 2018
Ilya: Do you prefer red or white wine?
Yuna: You don’t need to bring anything, Ilya.
Ilya: I know, answer please
Yuna: You’re our guest.
Ilya: I will bring both
September 7, 2018
Yuna: Got home safe?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: Thank you for dinner, the food was very delicious
Yuna: Thank you for coming, dear. Will you be our guest again?
Ilya: If you want then yes
Ilya: I would like to
Yuna: We want to. Maybe on the weekend?
Ilya: Shane is coming on Friday night. We could come over on Saturday?
Yuna: Sounds like a plan.
September 13, 2018
Ilya: Shane told me you have a cold
Ilya: Is David with you?
Yuna: Hello, Ilya. I’m fine, just a bit of a stuffy nose and a sore throat. David is out of town for the week, catching up with some old friends.
Yuna: Don’t worry about me, though. I’m totally fine.
Ilya: I will come over after practice
Yuna: Don’t worry, really. I’m okay. You must be tired. You should head straight home.
Ilya: I will bring you some medicine
Ilya: Few more hours and I am done
Ilya: See you soon
Yuna: You’re so stubborn.
Ilya: You are too
Ilya: Back to practice
September 16, 2018
Yuna: Hello, dear. Dinner tonight?
Ilya: Yes
Yuna: 👍🏻See you later.
Ilya: See you later
September 26, 2018
Yuna: Excited for your first game?
Ilya: I am not sure
Ilya: The team is still a big mess
Yuna: You’re a great player, darling, but not even a miracle could fix the Centaurs in just a month. You’re captain now, and you know what you’re doing. It will be frustrating for some time, but I’m positive that you can make a difference. David and I will be cheering for you.
Ilya: Thank you for the support
Yuna: Of course!
Yuna: Please replace Dillon oh my god
Ilya: No period at the end of the sentence?
Ilya: Must have been terrible game
Yuna: It certainly wasn’t a good game. But you were brilliant, you did what you could. Please have Dillon replaced, Ilya.
Ilya: I am trying
Yuna: Try harder. Are you coming for dinner?
Ilya: No, I am having a consolatory drink with the team
Ilya: Will need a lot of consolation
Yuna: Don’t drink too much, darling. Convince Dillon to quit hockey if you can.
Ilya: 😂
September 30, 2018
Yuna: Hi, Ilya. Has Shane arrived?
Ilya: Yuna hello
Ilya: Yes he’s asleep
Ilya: [photo]
Yuna: He forgot to text me. Was he tired?
Ilya: Ah yes
Ilya: And busy
Yuna: Do I want to know?
Ilya: Maybe not
Ilya: He will text when he wakes up
Ilya: Sorry
Yuna: Don’t worry about it, darling. I bet he missed you a lot.
Ilya: I missed him a lot too
Yuna: Enjoy your time together, then. Maybe let me know you’re alive every once in a while.
Ilya: Will do
October 3, 2018
Ilya: Yuna
Ilya: I have stopped by that bakery that David likes but I don’t remember the name of his favorite pastry
Ilya: Please help
Yuna: He likes butter tarts.
Ilya: Thank you
Ilya: It’s his birthday today, right?
Yuna: It is. Are you coming over?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: Should I also bring a cake
Yuna: You’re so sweet. Don’t worry about the cake, darling. I’m baking it myself. Just bring yourself.
Ilya: Okay
Ilya: I will also bring some pastries for you
Yuna: ❤️ Thank you.
October 10, 2018
Yuna: Hello, darling. I haven’t heard from you in a while. Is everything okay?
October 11, 2018
Ilya: Sorry I haven’t replied
Ilya: Everything is okay
Yuna: Ilya, it’s so nice to hear from you. Don’t worry about it, you don’t have to text me back all the time.
Ilya: It is not that I did not want to
Ilya: I like to text with you
Yuna: I like it too! But maybe you would prefer to talk with younger, cooler people, am I right?
Ilya: No one is cooler than you
Yuna: You’re very charming. You promise you’re okay, then?
Ilya: I promise
Ilya: I can bring you champagne to make up for not replying
Yuna: There’s nothing to make up for. I will gladly accept your champagne, however.
Ilya: Okay
October 14, 2018
Yuna: That looked like a bad hit. Come over for dinner and I will ice it, okay?
Ilya: In the car now
Yuna: Drive carefully, please.
Ilya: Yes mom
Ilya: Sorry
Ilya: Sorry did not think
Ilya: Was a joke
Ilya: Yes Yuna
[Call from Yuna. 00:03:41]
Ilya: Thank you
October 16, 2018
Yuna: Hi darling, can I bother you? The table David and I bought has finally arrived, but it seems like neither of us can figure out how to put the pieces together. Are you busy?
Ilya: Wait
[Video Call from Ilya]
Ilya: I am coming
Yuna: Are you out with your team? I thought I heard noises. Please don’t leave on our behalf. The table can wait.
Ilya: Ah no worries, I am already in the car
Ilya: Told them mama Yuna needs me
Ilya: Did not say your name
Yuna: You’re very sweet, darling. Drive safely.
October 20, 2018
Yuna: You’re driving to Montreal tonight?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: I will be back Wendsay
Ilya: Wednesday
Ilya: Why is English so stupid
Yuna: Hahaha, who knows. It might rain the whole evening, so don’t drive too fast. And don’t drive your Porsche.
Ilya: Shane said the same exact thing this morning 😂😂😂
Yuna: That must be very funny for you, but if I find out you drove your Porsche all the way to Shane’s despite me telling you not to, there will be consequences, Ilya.
Ilya: ((
Ilya: Sorry mama Yuna
Yuna: You better be. Take the SUV.
Ilya: But it’s so ugly :((((((
Yuna: Ilya. Take the SUV.
Ilya: Okay
October 21, 2018
Ilya: Made it to Shane safe and sound in the ugly car you and my boyfriend made me buy
Ilya: Goodnight mama Yuna
Yuna: ❤️Goodnight darling.
October 22, 2018

Yuna: ❤️ Thank you, darling. You’re still coming for lunch?
Ilya: Yes I am see you soon
Yuna: ❤️See you soon.
November 4, 2018
Yuna: Ilya, Shane says he hasn’t heard from you all day. I told him we grabbed dinner together yesterday and you were fine. Did anything happen?
Ilya: Sory just textd Shane
Ilya: Tinkh I have flu
Yuna: Oh darling
[Call from Yuna. 00:02:46]
Yuna: Stay in bed. I have a copy of your keys.
November 5, 2018
Ilya: How come you have a copy of my keys
Ilya: Also good morning
Yuna: Good morning, Ilya. When you bought the house I had a chat with Shane. We really wanted you to have everything you needed here. Shane, David and I, we all have a copy of your keys. For emergencies. Maybe we should have discussed it with you, too. I apologize, darling.
Ilya: No it’s okay
Ilya: Thank you for your help
Ilya: Sorry you saw me cry
Yuna: My dear, there’s no need to apologize. Your fever was very high. I didn’t mind helping you, at all.
Ilya: I think I cried because I thought of my mama
Yuna: You must miss her.
Ilya: I do
Yuna: Did you want to speak to her?
Ilya: Yes
Yuna: I’m sorry, darling. I should have thought about that. We could have given her a call. Or was the timezone an issue?
Ilya: Timezone is no issue
Ilya: My mama died a long time ago
Yuna: Ilya, I’m so sorry.
Ilya: No need to be sorry Yuna, it is not your fault
Ilya: Thank you for your help
Ilya: I think now you know it means a lot
Ilya: And thank you for the soup, is it a Canadian recipe?
Yuna: It’s a Japanese soup, my mom’s recipe. I miss her a lot, too.
Yuna: Ilya, I will be here to help whenever you need it. You’re my son’s favorite person in the world, so I will treasure you as such. But you have also become like a son to me, so I want to treat you like one. I hope you will let me.
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: But please do not make me cry again so early in the morning
Ilya: Thank you ❤️
Yuna: ❤️
November 20, 2018
Ilya: Mama Yuna I love your son but if he puts ambient sound in the car one more time I will leave
Yuna: You moved to a whole new country for my son but ambient sounds are where you draw the line?
Ilya: It is like torture
November 22, 2018
Yuna: Your mom would be very proud of you, darling. I will work very hard so that the Irina Foundation can thrive and we can honor her soul.
Ilya: Thank you Yuna
Ilya: For everything
December 2, 2018
Yuna: That was a nice hat trick! Very proud of you, darling. You’re bringing hope to this team.
Ilya: Feels hopeless sometimes
Ilya: Like I am not doing enough
Ilya: Sorry we lost
Yuna: No one else could do what you’re doing, Ilya. It’s not easy, and I can’t even imagine how frustrating it gets. But you have to trust me, you’re doing great. We are very proud of you, my boy.
Ilya: Can I come for dinner?
Yuna: You’re not going out with the team?
Ilya: I do not really want to go out
Ilya: Did you already eat
Yuna: We did, but there’s some leftovers for you in the fridge. Please come.
Ilya: I’m in the car
December 4, 2018
Yuna: Hey Ilya, is everything okay? You looked really tired last time I saw you. Please give me a call if you need anything.
December 6, 2018
Yuna: Hi Ilya, I hope I’m not bothering you. I could drop by and bring you some food if you want. Please let me know how you’re doing.
December 7, 2018
Yuna: I’m coming by.
Ilya: Sorry you saw that
Yuna: Does Shane know?
Ilya: No
Ilya: Please don’t tell him
Yuna: Okay, I won’t. But you need to tell him. And you need to promise me you’ll text me next time you feel like this.
Ilya: Will not happen again
Ilya: I promise
Yuna: It’s not what I asked. Ilya, please. I’m here to help.
Ilya: Yuna it will not happen again I promise
December 11, 2018
Yuna: Thank you for the beautiful flowers, darling. How did you know it was our anniversary?
Ilya: It was in your calendar in the kitchen. There is also nice vodka in the fridge for David. I asked my Russian friend to buy it for me.
Yuna: Just saw that! Please say thanks to your Russian friend, too. Did they come to visit you?
Ilya: Ah no
Ilya: Haven’t seen her in a while
Ilya: She’s my best friend, Svetlana
Yuna: Does she live in Russia?
Ilya: She lives in Boston
Ilya: Haven’t seen her since I moved
Yuna: That’s a really long time, Ilya. You should invite her. I’m sure you miss her.
Ilya: I do
Ilya: But I can’t see her and lie like this to her
Ilya: I haven’t told her about Shane
Yuna: Why? You told me Hayden knows about you two.
Ilya: Don’t get me wrong I’m sure she knows
Ilya: She is really smart
Ilya: I think she knows
Ilya: But Hayden found out by mistake and Shane does not want many people to know
Ilya: I get it
Yuna: Do you want me to speak to Shane about this?
Ilya: No Yuna
Ilya: It’s between me and Shane
Ilya: And we are fine
Yuna: Are you really?
December 12, 2018
Yuna: Hello, Ilya. I’m sorry about yesterday. I’ve been told multiple times that I can be pushy. I apologize for crossing the line. I hope this doesn’t change anything.
Ilya: It is okay
Ilya: I called Svetlana yesterday
Ilya: It is true that I miss her, but we stillI did not talk about Shane
Yuna: That’s fine. I won’t be giving unsolicited advice anymore, darling. But if you need some company, or if you want to talk about whatever, I will be here. I might be your boyfriend’s mom, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a mother to you too. I won’t play favorites.
Ilya: Because I am your favorite already
Yuna: Funny.
Ilya: Thank you mama Yuna
Yuna: You’re very welcome, Ilya.
December 14, 2018
Ilya: Yuna hello
Ilya: I’m texting so you do not worry
Ilya: Nothing too serious but Pike’s kids were sick and I think they got to Shane so I am going to Montreal to check on him
Ilya: I will text you in the morning
[Call from Yuna]
December 24, 2018
Ilya: We are on our way
Yuna: Great! Dinner is ready.

Ilya: No I did not
Yuna: I’m here for you, dear.
January 21, 2019
Yuna: I can’t believe Dillon is still playing. I mean no disrespect but what is wrong with him?
Ilya: 😂😂😂
Ilya: We have no other player to take his place
Yuna: You and Boodram are doing very well. Keep it up. Also, your goalie is wonderful. He’s been here a month and he’s already doing wonders. Great hands.
Ilya: Yes he is good
Ilya: Shane says he’s a tough one
Yuna: Then he must be really good. Here’s a PDF file of my notes from the last three games you played. There’s some stuff you should work on, darling.

Ilya: Better

February 18, 2019
Ilya: Yunaaa
Ilya: They told me a new Russian restaurant just opened
Ilya: Can we try it together when I am back?
Yuna: Of course. I would love to, darling. David will be away for that convention we talked about last time, do you remember?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: I texted him first to be sure I remembered correctly
Ilya: So many conventions
Yuna: He likes them. He’s a bit of a nerd, in that sense.
Ilya: Boring just like Shane
Ilya: You find it endearing?
Yuna: A bit.
Ilya: I get it
March 3, 2019

Ilya: My Shane
Ilya: I wish I was there
Yuna: We all miss you here. Shane hasn’t shut up about you.
Ilya: It’s because he loves me
Yuna: Yes. It’s because he loves you.
May 12, 2019
Ilya: Happy mother’s day, Yuna.
Yuna: Thank you for the wonderful gift, my dear. Will you come over so I can give you a hug?
Ilya: I am thinking of my mama today
Ilya: Maybe I am not great company
Yuna: My darling, Ilya. Come over so we can think of her together.
Ilya: Okay
June 15, 2019
Ilya: Yuna what is the package I see in front of the door
Yuna: Happy birthday, my dear! I am so grateful to life for having brought you to my Shane. I don’t know if I’ve been good at showing it, but I am also very grateful to Shane for bringing you into our lives. Your soul is very bright, my darling.
Ilya: I do not know what to say
Ilya: Thank you
Yuna: I treasure you like you’re my own kid, Ilya. You don’t need to say anything.
Yuna: I know you probably would have preferred to spend the day with your boyfriend, but I hope you don’t mind if David and I come by later.
Ilya: I never mind mama
July 3, 2019

Yuna: The sunset looks beautiful. So does Shane. You’re a great photographer.
Ilya: Your son is beautiful like you
Ilya: Do you think I can post the last picture of the water on Instagram
Yuna: I think you can. It’s not compromising at all.
Ilya: Then I will post it
July 29, 2019
Ilya: Do you think we should expand
Ilya: Have the hockey camps in other cities too
Yuna: It’s an idea worth thinking about, surely. Are you enjoying your time? David and I will be there in a few days.
Ilya: Yes is fun
Ilya: I like children
Yuna: I think Shane once showed me a video of you playing with Arthur Pike. He was very charmed by it, and you were very good with the little guy.
Ilya: Did he
Ilya: What did Shane say
Ilya: I think small Arthur is very similar to Shane and he is very cute and easy to play with
Yuna: I think you’re just great with children. Would you like to be a dad?
Ilya: Did Shane talk about being a dad
Ilya: My dad was not a good dad
Ilya: So sometimes I wonder
Yuna: You will be a wonderful dad, Ilya. Shane thinks so, too.
Ilya: How do you know
Yuna: That you will be a great dad? Or that Shane thinks you will be?
Ilya: Both questions
Yuna: I used to worry so much about whether I would be a good mom or not. I was pregnant and very scared all the time at the beginning. I remember my mom telling me that being scared and worried was already a sign that I was going to do well. You’re already so much better than your father, darling. You already care so much.
Yuna: Shane never talks about being a dad, at least not to me. But he did say you’re going to be a great dad. I wonder what that means, right?
Ilya: Thank you Yuna
Ilya: You are a great mother
Yuna: You’re a great son.
Ilya: I can never win can I
Yuna: I will outlove you!
Ilya: No Yuna you will not
August 3, 2019
Yuna: Scott Hunter should coach at the summer camps.

Yuna: I’m making lasagna for dinner if you want to come over.
Ilya: Yes I want
Yuna: Nice!
August 25, 2019
Yuna: Hello, Ilya. Are you doing better?
August 26, 2019
Yuna: Have you spoken about this to anyone? To Shane?
Ilya: There is nothing to speak about
Yuna: You know I don’t agree. And it’s been happening more often.
August 27, 2019
Ilya deleted a message
Yuna: What did you write?
Ilya: Nothing
Ilya: I am fine Yuna please do not mention Shane

Ilya: But he won’t play with us anytime soon
Yuna: How do you know he has a crush on you?
Ilya: Talks about me and blushes
Ilya: Like a tomato
Yuna: 😂Are you talking about Haas?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: I watch his interviews he talks about me all the time
Yuna: Does he really? He will probably join you next season, right?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: He has a poster of me in his bedroom Yuna
Yuna: Poor guy. God only knows what you will put him through.
Ilya: I will make him a star

Yuna: Absolutely not! Go to Boodram’s! Have fun, we can postpone dinner, my dear.
Ilya: Are you sure
Ilya: David is out for the convention
Yuna: I can handle one peaceful night by myself, Ilya.
Ilya: ((
Ilya: Alone?
Yuna: Stay with your team or I will get angry.
Ilya: Ok
October 1, 2019
Ilya: Which son are you rooting for tonight?
Yuna: I don’t play favorites.
Ilya: I know you’re rooting for Shane
Ilya: Booooo Metros
Yuna: I have the Centaurs’ performance review file open on my laptop. I sure hope you don’t embarrass me tonight, Ilya.
Ilya: It’s not my fault we have to play like we have one less player because Dillon still has not retired
Yuna: Don’t remind me.
Yuna: I’m rooting for both of my sons. Have fun, darling.
Ilya: Thank you mama Yuna, see u later
October 3, 2019
Yuna: Did you order 15 butter tarts and have them delivered to our place?
Ilya: They are not for you Yuna
Ilya: They are for David
Ilya: And the guests for his birthday party
Yuna: Wow.
Ilya: Does he not like them?
Ilya: He was happy when he called me
Yuna: Oh no, he likes them very much. He’s still happy, three of those are already on their way to his stomach.
Ilya: I know what is happening
Ilya: You think I am an ungrateful son
Yuna: What? I really don’t.
Ilya: Well I wanted it to be a surprise but I also ordered your favorite croissants
Ilya: They take more to arrive
Yuna: ❤️ Very sweet of you.

Ilya: Halloween at Hazy’s!!!!!!!! Yuna how do I look
Yuna: You look great! Is that Shane’s hockey jersey?
Ilya: I dressed as Hollander
Ilya: Everyone loves the costume
Ilya: I think I will win best costume
Yuna: What does Shane think of your costume?
Ilya: Probably inappropriate things I can’t say to you mama Hollander
Yuna: No, you’re right. I really don’t want to know. Have a good night, darling!
November 1, 2019
Ilya: Happy birthday mama
Yuna: My darling, thank you! I have just received your beautiful flowers! Also, how did you know I wanted that bag? How are you always one step ahead of me?
Ilya: Was worried they wouldn’t get to Montreal in time
Ilya: When we had lunch together last month we walked past that pretty shop and you watched the bag for five minutes
Ilya: Easy
Yuna: Five minutes seems a bit too much…
Ilya: No need to be embarrassed Yuna
Ilya: You like fancy bags I will get you fancy bags
Ilya: It is better when money is spent on family, no?
Yuna: Yes, it is.
Yuna: We should FaceTime later today, so you can say hi to me and then spend the rest of the call talking to Shane.
Ilya: I do love talking to Shane
Ilya: You know me so well
Yuna: I think I do.

Ilya: Yuna you will not believe how many gay hockey players I have found
Ilya: I will not say the name
Ilya: I am at the Kingfisher bar and Scott Hunter is so boring so I turn my head and Wow gay hockey player on my radar walks in and greets boring Scott Hunter
Yuna: What? A famous hockey one?
Ilya: Yes very but not as famous as me
Ilya: A fossil like Hunter
Yuna: The fact that he’s at the Kingfisher with Scott Hunter doesn’t mean he’s gay, darling.
Ilya: Oh but he is
Ilya: If not gay bisexual
Ilya: I have always been right so far
Yuna: You said you never imagined Scott Hunter would be gay.
Ilya: He doesn’t count
Ilya: Hard to study dinosaurs
Yuna: To this day I still don’t know where the beef you have with him comes from.
Ilya: Originated in ancient times
Ilya: When he was the only person in the planet because he is so old he was created before any other creature
Yuna: You can’t possibly be this bored. Go back to your conversation with Hunter and his friend.
Ilya: You do not want to speak to me?
Yuna: I’m older than Scott Hunter.
Ilya: Mama Yuna no
Ilya: Impossible
Ilya: No one is older than him
November 29, 2019
Ilya: Do you think I should speak with a professional
Yuna: A professional?
Ilya: Like a therapist
Yuna: Yes, my dear.

Ilya: Spoke to my Shane and snooped into your schedule and booked a relaxing holiday for you and David
Ilya: Happy Wedding Anniversary
Yuna: What
Yuna: how
December 24, 2019
Yuna: You didn’t tell me last year that you celebrate Christmas in January. That must have looked terrible on my part…
Ilya: It is okay Yuna
Yuna: I feel very bad about it… It didn’t even come up during our dinner together.
Ilya: I do not like to talk about it and we do not really do a lot in Russia
Ilya: I was very happy to celebrate your Christmas with you
Yuna: Maybe we can do something for your Christmas too.
Ilya: We can if you want
Ilya: Shane tried to find Russian food for me last time
Yuna: Would you consider giving me your friend Svetlana’s number?
Ilya: I will think about it
Yuna: That’s alright. See you tomorrow, Ilya.
Ilya: See you tomorrow

Yuna: Happy New Year’s!

Ilya: Happy New Years!
January 6, 2020
Ilya: How did you get Svetlana’s number if I did not give it to you?
Yuna: It’s easy to find people. Don’t worry, I reached out to her via email. There must be a reason you didn’t want to give me her phone number and I absolutely respect it. I was very discreet and professional.
Ilya: I would like for you to meet
Ilya: Maybe one day
Yuna: For all that matters, I would like it too.
January 10, 2020
Ilya: Remember what I told you about that famous hockey player that was gay and if not gay bisexual
Yuna: No way….
February 18, 2020
Yuna: How do you feel about Shane’s diet?
Ilya: it is very strict
Ilya: He feels guilty if he does not follow it toroughly
Ilya: Thoroughly
Ilya: Terrible word Yuna
Yuna: It is a terrible word, but you got it right, darling. Should I try to speak with him?
Ilya: No I do not think you should
Ilya: He gets very defensive
Ilya: Let’s wait
Yuna: You’ve spoken with him?
Ilya: I tried
Ilya: He says he knows what he’s doing
Yuna: I wish I could see for myself what goes on in his mind. I worry about him sometimes.
Ilya: Yes I understand
Ilya: Let’s trust him
Ilya: And we are going to be there for him
Yuna: Okay.
March 7, 2020
Yuna: I was watching your postgame interview today. Did I ever tell you your English is very impressive? I think I always took for granted that you knew but you were pretty surprised when that interviewer told you as much.
Ilya: I have been away from Russia many years and sometimes I still struggle
Yuna: That’s totally normal. You’ve always been good at English though. Do you ever miss home?
Ilya: Sometimes I do but not that often
Ilya: Sometimes I only want to speak Russian
Yuna: When I was younger I often wondered how my mother felt. In the last years of her life she didn’t want to stay in Canada anymore. It was like her soul was yearning for her home. She did her best teaching me Japanese, but I still struggle.
Ilya: My mama told me one thing some time before she passed. She said that we can try to make a home wherever we want but home is home only when our soul decides it is
Ilya: I do not think she was at home in my house in Russia
Ilya: And her soul was not happy so she had to move
Yuna: Do you feel at home here?
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: I like Ottawa but I think home is when I am with my Shane
Yuna: ♥️
Ilya: ♥️

Ilya: The one time we win?
Yuna: There are some nice things in there, too.
Ilya: Yuna there is one page of nice things and 16 pages of terrible things
Ilya: What am I supposed to tell my team
Yuna: Do you share my PDFs with your team?
Ilya: No I just tell them mama Hollander who works with me for the Irina Foundation has very strong opinions about our games
Yuna: I see. Well, whatever you’re doing, keep it up. The game wasn’t so bad today.
Ilya: It’s just because the other team is even worse than us
Ilya: They are like a team full of Dillons
Yuna: 😂
April 12, 2020
Ilya: Has David done this puzzle already?
Ilya: [link]
Yuna: He doesn’t have it in his studio.
Ilya: I thought so too
Yuna: 2000 pieces are a lot, wow.
Ilya: You have little faith in David and me
May 1, 2020
Ilya: No performance review tonight?
Ilya: We did not make it to the playoffs again
Yuna: No performance review. I’m positive you will make it next season.
Ilya: I would not be so sure
Yuna: Ottawa has never had a star like you. Give it some time, darling.
Ilya: I get tired of losing sometimes
Yuna: It’s normal. It won’t be like this forever, Ilya, trust me.
Ilya: My friend Svetlana thinks Shane will win the Cup
Ilya: What do you think?
Yuna: I think she’s right.
Ilya: I think so too
May 10, 2020
Ilya: Don’t tell Shane

Ilya: Happy Mother’s Day mama ❤️
Yuna: ❤️ Thank you, my dear.
May 24, 2020
Yuna: Ilya, can you stop by the pharmacy to get some Tylenol before you get here? David came back from work with a bad migraine and I can’t find any.
Ilya: Yes
Ilya: I will be quick
Yuna: Drive safely.
Ilya: On my way
June 9, 2020
Yuna: Let’s watch Shane’s game together tomorrow. You come over and we have a nice dinner and you can sleep here so you don’t have to drive. It says it’s going to rain.
Ilya: I will bring something to drink to celebrate your son winning his third Cup
Yuna: Yes, do that.
June 15, 2025
Yuna: Поздравляю с днём рождения!
Yuna: Happy birthday! I hope I got that right…
Ilya: ありがとう。
Ilya: Did I get it right?
Yuna: Dinner later today?
Ilya: Yes please
June 25, 2025
Yuna: As per your request, I’m keeping you updated. David and I are leaving for the lake now. We will see you when you and Shane get to your cottage in August, unless anything comes up. Good luck with the camps!
Ilya: Yes thank you
Ilya: Drive safely
Ilya: Also text when you get there
July 3, 2020
Yuna: Were you invited to Scott Hunter’s wedding?
Ilya: Why would I want to go to boring Hunter’s wedding

Ilya: He has a poster of me in his bedroom
Yuna: So you’ve told me 😂
July 28, 2020
Yuna: So I’m watching that series you recommended to me a while ago. Do you know if there’s going to be a third season?
Ilya: You already finished it? It’s 30 episodes per season Yuna
Yuna: I watched it before bed! You were right, it keeps you hooked.
Ilya: Well Yuna I have bad news
Ilya: They did not renew
Ilya: No season 3
Yuna: What! Did you already know this before you recommended it to me?
Ilya: Maybe…
Ilya: I did not think you would watch it
Ilya: But you were recommending stuff to me for when I was bored in Ottawa and I wanted to recommend something in return
Yuna: I will send an email to the producers. Never do this to me again, Ilya.
Ilya: Ok I will not recommend shows again
Yuna: No, just don’t recommend unrenewed works, darling. I take all your recommendations seriously, as you can see.
Ilya: You have great taste
Ilya: Shane did not like the series and he said he was glad there wasn’t going to be a third season
Yuna: I’m not surprised. Did you two watch it together?
Ilya: No, he started to watch it when I told him I liked the show
Ilya: He is so funny, Yuna
Ilya: Watched season 1 and season 2, 60 episodes in total, and then he complained to me about how terrible it was
Yuna: Seems to me like he watched it for you.
Ilya: Like mother like son 😂
August 13, 2020
Ilya: Mama Yuna, do you still have that good spicy sauce you told me about?
Yuna: Yes. Should I bring it over?

Ilya: I asked rookie Luca Haas to take a selfie with me because I am a big fan
Yuna: 😂Oh my.
Ilya: He is just like a tomato I swear
Yuna: Be nice to him, Ilya.
Ilya: Yes, I am nice to all my fans
Ilya: Especially those with a poster of me in their bedroom
October 1, 2020
Yuna: Centaurs-performance-review105.pdf
Ilya: Wow can I will tell little Haas that mama Hollander was impressed by his first NHL goal
Yuna: Tell him that he should work on his speed too.
Ilya: Yuna please be kind to my number 1 fan
Ilya: Also I have already told him
October 3, 2020
Yuna: Haha, this time my pastries got here before David’s butter tarts!
Ilya: I learn from my mistakes mama Yuna
October 10, 2020
Yuna: How is your knee, Ilya? Are you skipping practice?
Ilya: Not too bad, I’m skipping practice
Ilya: Jackie Pike got injured too so Shane and I are babysitting today
Yuna: I’ve heard from Shane! Glad to hear that you’re okay, darling. Have fun with the Pike kids.
Ilya: They are so different from their father, so cute and so funny
Ilya: They call me uncle Ilya
Yuna: Haha, when they grow up and find out about the beef between their father and uncle everyone is going to have a great time.
Ilya: When they grow up they will ditch their boring father and ask to move into their uncles’ place
Yuna: Sure!
October 25, 2020
Ilya: Hello Yuna, how is Japan?
Yuna: Beautiful and cold! Everyone is doing well, too. How is Ottawa and how are you?
Ilya: Everything is fine
Ilya: I will dress as a gladiator for Halloween this year, what do you think?
Yuna: Wow, sounds fun. Where will you find the costume?
Ilya: Already found it
Yuna: I don’t think we have ever celebrated Halloween. Is it a thing in Russia?
Ilya: Not really
Ilya: But I like it, I dressed up even back in Boston
Ilya: Marlow always found great clubs and events to celebrate Halloween
Ilya: So Shane never dressed up as anything?
Yuna: When he was little, maybe. For school? Our family was never that big on Halloween, I think. There might be some pictures back home. You know the albums we keep in the living room, right? Feel free to go check them out whenever you want, you have the keys.
Ilya: I need to see tiny Shane in a Halloween costume
Ilya: I will also water your plants
Yuna: Thank you, darling.
November 1, 2020
Ilya: Happy birthday, mama Hollander
Yuna: Thank you, my dear. How was Halloween?
Ilya: Fun
Ilya: Shane drove to Ottawa, came to see me
Ilya: He left now
Ilya: I am having some thoughts
Yuna: Good or bad?
Ilya: I think I will see a therapist
Yuna: Okay, have you told Shane?
Ilya: No, you’re the only one who knows
Ilya: I don’t know why I told you
Ilya deleted 2 messages
Ilya: Please act like you don’t know
Yuna: Okay. But you need to tell him, Ilya.
Ilya: I know

November 17, 2020
Ilya: What do you think of Barrett
Yuna: Troy Barrett? I think he did a good thing by standing up against Kent. Why?
Ilya: Nothing
Ilya: He was always an asshole
Yuna: I guess assholes can grow a conscience too.
Yuna: Except maybe Dallas Kent.
Ilya: Yeah no not him
November 20, 2020
Yuna: Did you ask me about Barrett because you knew they were going to trade him to your team? What is he like? How is the team adjusting?
Ilya: He is quiet
Ilya: Maybe sad, I don’t know
Ilya: But he’s better than Dillon, so we put him on my line and he delivers
Ilya: Still trying to figure him out
Yuna: Hard to find a player worse than Dillon. I’m so grateful I don’t have to see him miss a pass every three seconds on my screen.
Ilya: You saw it on the screen but I see it all the time in front of me
Ilya: Sometimes I wake up from a nightmare and the nightmare is Dillon missing all my passes
Yuna: 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ilya: 😂😂😂😂😂😂

December 7, 2020
Ilya: Mama Yuna
Ilya: I sense some more gayness was added to my team
Yuna: What?
Ilya: I look at this player and I think he is gay and if not gay he is bisexual
Yuna: And you think this because?
Ilya: Just a feeling
Yuna: I refuse to believe you always get this right.
Ilya: Want to bet?
December 14, 2020
Yuna: Good game, darling.
Ilya: We lost
Yuna: But that punch to Kent’s face was incredible. Really made my day.
Ilya: It was very satisfying
December 15, 2020
Ilya: You owe me money
Yuna: ….No way.
December 25, 2020
Yuna: Is everything okay between you and Shane?
Ilya: Yes
December 26, 2021
Yuna: Is everything really okay?
Ilya: I don’t know
January 3, 2021
Yuna: Please text me when you get this
Yuna: I can’t believe this is happening
Yuna: They say it was an emergency landing and everyone is fine
Yuna: But nobody has heard anything and Shane is still playing I don’t know what to tell him, are you okay
[Call from Yuna, missed]

Ilya: Here is Svetlana’s number
Yuna: Oh my, what happened?
Ilya: We had dinner after my game and now she knows that I am engaged to Shane
Yuna: Great! I can stop sending her discreet and professional emails now.

Yuna: Finally.
Ilya: Finally
February 25, 2021
Yuna: Barrett was the player we bet on?
Ilya: I am always right
Yuna: This is incredible. Did you know he was going to come out publicly?
Ilya: Yes he said so
Ilya: The whole team knew
Ilya: Social media manager is his boyfriend
Yuna: Well, you were right. How much do I owe you?
Ilya: Do not worry about it
Ilya: We can set the stakes higher
Ilya: I have been watching my rookie
Yuna: Oh my… I might not bet against you this time.
Ilya: That would be a smart move

Ilya: First picture of my Shane and my Anya ❤️
Ilya: And Pike in the background……………
Yuna: ❤️ So beautiful. Be nice to Pike.
Ilya: You sound like Shane
Yuna: Shane sounds like me.
Ilya: Did you know Pike records videos for his middle-aged fans
Yuna: Now I do.
March 13, 2021
Yuna: David and I are driving to Montreal right now. Shane isn’t answering his phone so I think you might be sleeping still. Let’s call Farah as soon as the both of you wake up. I love you both.
March 27, 2021
Yuna: I have reposted and shared your shared statement. I know it’s not what you hoped for but I’m very proud of you. David and I will stand by our sons no matter what.
Ilya: Thank you ❤️ I love you mom
Yuna: ❤️ I love you too.
April 1, 2021
Ilya: Now the team knows I’m engaged to your son, Yuna
Yuna: April Fool’s?

Yuna: ❤️ Your family is in the stands today! Good luck against New York.
Ilya: ❤️
May 2, 2021
Ilya: No performance review?
Yuna: No need. This was some of your best hockey, darling. You brought Ottawa back to the playoffs with great resilience. I’m very proud of you, so is David and so is Shane. We’re waiting for you back home.
Ilya: ❤️
May 6, 2021
Ilya: I wanted to say this to you but I think I never had good words. Shane will come to Ottawa and he will be happier. I will do everything I can to make him happy everyday. If it was hard to trust me in the beginning, I am sorry. I love your son very much and I will be a good husband to him. This family has become very important to me, so I will do my best to be happy and make you happy too.
Yuna: It has always been surprisingly easy to trust you, Ilya. From that first lunch at our cottage, David and I have always known we could trust you. Shane has never been as happy as he is with you, and he has never loved anyone like he loves you. We are so grateful to have you in our family and we love you like a son, even on the sad days. You make us all happy, so I hope we can make you happy in return. I love you, darling.
Ilya: ❤️
Yuna: ❤️
