   Summary

   Shane Hollander was the golden boy of Lincoln High. Ilya Rozanov was the history nerd who fell in love with him.

   Over the course of 20 years, they went from strangers to friends to lovers... then back to friends... then back to lovers... then into something in between.

   What will they become when Shane takes a job in Paris? And what will they become when Ilya asks him to stay?
