    Summary

    After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.

    As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.

    A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

    Summary

    "You know I don't speak with anyone home in Russia. But Svetlana, she is like family, and I thought maybe you could meet her."

    Shane visibly flinched. Over the last couple days Ilya had told him more about Svetlana, and he understood that their friendship went far deeper and further back than just the hookups, but every time Ilya brought her up he couldn't help but replay, I could marry Svetlana, in his mind, and his whole body recoiled.

    Ilya seemed to notice because he started drawing circles on the back of his hand with his thumb. "Svetlana and me, it's not like that. Not like us. She is very old friend and has always been there for me. But I know we have history, so if you don't want to-"

    "No," Shane said before he could think.

    "I would love to meet her."

    -

    or the aftermath of the "I could marry Svetlana" conversation bc Shane looked like he was about to comit murder and I refuse to believe this hasn't come up again.
