    Summary

    The thing about grand gestures, Ilya will understand much later, is that they have an end. You plan the kayak and pack the basket and watch Shane laugh, and there is a clean and finished quality to the feeling. What he is not good at—has never been good at—is the open wire, the exposed, unfinished thing that hangs in the air between I should call and I didn’t.
