   Summary

   There’d been a sense of dread in the car ride home from the hospital as Ilya felt that warmth slipping away, the outside world slowly seeping in the cracks and pulling Ilya from his baby and from the man he loved even as their skin pressed against his own. He clung to it desperately, clutching Irina closer, breathing her in.
