   Summary

   I Love you.

   The words are new, like they had just been born; soft-skulled with a voice for crying. It’s hard to know what to do with something so new, but Ilya cares for their confessions like they are needy yet precocious infants. I love you. Ya Tebya Llyublyu. Ilya is proud of the words, like a parent is proud of their children. Ilya’s is already speaking full sentences in Russian.

   Explorations of Ilya Rozanov, a man newly in love.
