    Summary

    “Why did you buy a child?”, is what Ilya says when they show up at the entrance of the cottage, wet and miserable as a pair of drowned rats.

    He doesn’t even sound surprised. Meanwhile Shane feels like he’s aged ten years in the twenty minutes it took to drive back to the house, battling a sulking child, a rising storm and a dying phone. He wants to be upset and call Ilya an asshole, but he’s mostly grateful that the man is now wearing clothes (how fast things change).

    -----

    Or, that first summer at the cottage takes a different turn when a freak storm happens and Shane finds a lost kid and brings her back home. Neither Ilya nor Shane are very good at taking care of her. She, on the other hand, is very good at making conversations happen that have been not been allowed for 10 years.
