   Summary

   “Are these beautiful shoes for swimming, or did you just buy these as a fashion statement?” Ilya asks, gesturing to the blue and white rubber swim shoes on the ground. “Because if these are from that stylist you hired, you should probably find a new one,” he says.

   “Shut up, and yes, they’re water shoes. In case…you wanted to go in the lake,” Shane responds. He’s looking out the screen of the glass door past Ilya as he says it, a bit timid. He feels like he’s showing his cards.

   ----------------------------

   Shane doesn’t think he knows how to be in love. It finds him anyway.
