   Summary

   The second summer feels different.

   A few weeks from now Ilya will leave Boston for Ottawa, and the life Shane has spent years wanting is beginning to take shape around him. At the cottage, surrounded by woods, lake water and long afternoons, Shane finds himself wondering why some people think him a lesser man when the man he loves never has.

   A walk through the woods near the cottage confirms that Ilya’s entire wilderness survival strategy is mostly following Shane.
