    Summary

    Shane can’t think of a better way to wake up than this: 

    The sun is casting rays from the big window, spilling all over their white bedsheets, blanketing them in luminosity and warmth. The big comforter is haphazardly thrown around them, half of it on the floor, and there is a glow, a light that he can’t even begin to explain, everywhere

    If he raises his head just slightly from the warmth of Ilya’s—his husband’s—back he can see the river, and make out the blue sky.

    He chooses not to raise his head and instead bury the growing smile on his face to Ilya’s back. His husband

    Or: their first morning as husbands spent dancing to an old Japanese song and saying vows in Russian.

    Summary

    Shane said he would be home by midnight. Ilya only had to hold on for a couple more hours. He thought, fleetingly, that he wasn't sure how the day had spiraled so enormously out of his control. One goddamn day alone and he was at the edge of the abyss. Everything hurt.

    Or:

    Ilya navigates the expanse of his mental illness over the course of one bad day.

    Summary

    “My dad definitely liked you. You share his taste in vodka.”

    Ilya hums, running a hand up and down Shane’s arm. “See? You are worried about nothing.”

    “I know, I just… I’ve had this hanging over me for years, and now that it’s over with…”

    “You look lighter,” Ilya tells him, brushing his fingers against Shane’s cheek. “More peaceful.”

    “I feel lighter, but I’m scared,” he admits, fingers drifting down to Ilya’s abdomen, tracing the lines and ridges he finds there. “We’ve never done this before—the actually being together past. I’m scared I’ll mess it up.”

    Shane and Ilya return to the cottage after the confrontation with Shane’s parents.

    Summary

    “Hi,” Hollander says, leaning forward, his lips grazing Ilya’s.

    Ilya pulls back. “Are you going to behave?”

    Hollander considers this, and for a rare moment this evening, sounds completely genuine when he responds, “Is that what you want?”

    Or

    Shane walks Ilya like a dog and gets exactly what he wants.
