Summary
He has this problem. Things catch his eye. He had to take the air freshener off the rearview mirror of his car. The little silver bead drove him fucking crazy to the point he thought it was becoming a traffic hazard. He has to divert his eye when he steps into the lobby of the rink because of that one time the sun shone through the window and hit the glass of the vending machine in a way that made him squint and lose his breath. Light catching the plastic yellow wrapper of some snack bar he can’t even watch Hayden eat anymore.
Some moments in Shane Hollanders life between 2013 and 2017.

Summary
Really, he reasons with himself, the chances that Shane will answer are very small. And when he sees the missed call, he will probably assume that it was an accidental call and forget about it. In six weeks Boston will be in Montreal and Ilya will go to Shane's weird building with the murder alley and fuck Shane until neither of them can remember their names.
"Rozanov? Why are you calling me? What's wrong?"
Ilya realizes the holidays are so boring if you're spending them alone.

Summary
It wasn't any easier the second time Shane got his bell rung.
It was actually quite a lot worse.

Summary
Shane gives himself a minute, hand on the wall in case his knees give out. His heart is still racing behind his ribs. It went fine, he reminds himself. They still love you. This is not how the nightmare usually goes.
That's the thing about nightmares though, you can't out run them. Maybe he just has to sit in it for a while, wait for this new reality to reform itself around him.
They still love you.
OR
nightmares aren't real, but waking up is still a process
