    Summary

    Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.

    But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.

    Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

     

    -

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.
