Svetlana has been watching Ilya skate since before he could see over the boards. She hasn't watched all of his games, of course, but most of them. Now that he's in the MHL she watches all of them — although sometimes after the fact. If just so she can text him with exactly what she thinks he did wrong — openings he didn't take or bad choices. He loves her, really.
Cliff does not claim to be one of the smartest bastards on the ice — wouldn't wanna be. That kind of pressure and stress? Fuck that. But he isn't dumb and he's observant as shit.
Hayden loves Shane. He does. But he sometimes get pissed off with what Shane can get away with.
Or: No one sees the fully picture, but they all get pieces.

Amélie's work days are usually boring. Sit at the counter, help people find things, process orders. If she's lucky, she'll get great commission when someone shows up to spend money for money's sake. Her only companions her phone and the near constant presence of Shane Hollander's Rolex campaigns.
So, boring. Until Shane Hollander walks through the door.

Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.
So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.
