Summary
“Is someone chasing you?” Ilya drawls.
He turns, and yeah, this guy doesn’t look like much of a smoker. Ilya’s learned through time and experience that stoners come in all shapes and sizes, but it’s clear that he isn’t one: hair cut neat and short, straight-laced, brows furrowed into a scowl, shoulders all tight—too squared away. He’s probably not much of a drinker, either, if Ilya had to guess.
And he’s wearing a fucking suit, for Christ’s sake.
So boring, Ilya thinks, strangely delighted. He wants to take him by the collar and scruff up his hair, if only to see what he might do in response.
Or, Shane's struggling with anxiety. Hayden thinks his grumpy weed dealer might be able to help.

Summary
“Expecting company?” the person calls.
There’s no way.
He knows that voice—has heard it in his bed, and on the ice, and in his dreams—but he hasn’t heard it this closely and alone in years.
For a split second, he thinks no one will be there. That Svetlana was right, and becoming a recluse was making him crazy.
When Ilya finally does turn around, Shane Hollander is standing there, looking at him warily.
“Ilya?”
The ghost is back, only he speaks, and he’s not really a ghost at all.
Or, Shane and Ilya never speak again after the tuna melt debacle and Shane marries Rose. Seven years later, news hits that they are getting a divorce. Somehow, Shane shows up on the doorstep of Ilya's remote cottage, with only a duffel bag and a small hope. For Ilya, time has changed both nothing and everything.

Summary
It made Shane's head spin sometimes, thinking about an alternate version of life where he wasn’t in the room with them. That somewhere in the wrinkle of time, it was just Ilya and Svetlana. The way it was meant to be. They might have even gotten married, like Ilya once suggested. He couldn’t help but feel like it was a fluke of the universe, an impossible streak of luck, that made Ilya his.
As they continued to talk, Shane couldn’t help but wonder if Svetlana ever felt the same.
Or, Ilya books a birthday cottage trip for Shane with Rose, Hayden, and Jackie. Shane can’t shake the feeling that someone important is missing. Over the course of an eight hour road trip to the cottage, Shane and Svetlana come to understand each other.

Summary
Shane releases what feels like his first exhale in forever—Ilya Rozanov, taken out by the common flu. Not ignoring him. Not ending anything. Still, the knot in his chest doesn’t ease completely with the vision of Ilya unwell and alone in Shane’s head.
JANE
Are you at your house?
LILY
Where else, Jane?
JANE
Don’t fall asleep. I’ll be there soon.
LILY
No, am sick. I told you.
JANE
I heard you. I’ll be there soon.
Or, Ilya’s sick and Shane wants, and wants, and wants.
