Summary
Ilya hadn’t lied to Shane when he’d told him it had been a good day. And he hadn’t been lying to himself when he’d privately thought of it as one of his best days, either.
Which means that when Ilya wakes up at 5am the next morning feeling like there’s a ten-ton brick wedged in the space between his lungs and his ribcage, he knows it’s not because of everything that happened the day before.
Not really. Not once you crack open his sternum and start poking around at the dark, squishy guts of it all.
Meeting Shane's parents brings up some unexpected emotions for Ilya. It's not the first time, and he's sure it won't be the last, but at least this time he doesn't have to deal with them on his own.
