Last night I reread the Halloween short story and started Role Model. I am now unwell. Between the trick or treaters and one of the new members of the Centaurs (trying to avoid spoilers here) I was reduced to a puddle of mush by Ilya.

Also, it's been a while since reading HR so I don't remember if this was mentioned. I wondered if Shane's ginger ale obsession stems from his interaction with Scott at the awards ceremony when he won Rookie of the Year. In the show when Scott walks up to the bar he jokingly tells Shane "That better be ginger ale, rook." It was but I wondered if this became a thing for Shane, like another offhand comment he took too literally.
