    Summary

    Finding the arduous task of hiding their relationship harder than expected, Shane and Ilya try couples' therapy as a way to surmount the problem together.

     

    Saying it out loud and putting it all out in front of us at once has us both in tears, holding hands with hard squeezes, I’m-right-here squeezes. The therapist shows us sympathy that reminds us just how much we’ve been carrying, how much work it takes to keep the curtain up between us Out There and just… us.
