   Summary

   "What do you mean ?" He managed to say. His voice was careful. He didn't want to say the bad things. It seems that the line was fine.

   "You know..." The room was silent for a couples of minutes. The atmospher was heavy. "I don't see an out... I am not happy. I dont know how to do this. I chose you for a long time. I think I need to choose myself"

   Shane's eyes began to get wet. He couldn't speak, he couldn't trust his voice. His breathing started to accelerate. He let Ilya speak. He was not able to stop him

   "Shane. I don't want to lie anymore. I don't think I can do this. I need... I need to be me. I am sorry."
