   Summary

   Immediately follows the fight on Boxing Day, where Ilya tells Shane to leave. To please go home.

   After seeking advice from a trusted friend, Shane returns to make things right between them.

   Truths will be revealed, exposing the cracks in their relationship that Shane hasn't seen and Ilya hasn't wanted to reveal; forcing hard conversations and even harder decisions.

   Is love enough to keep them together? If so, what needs to change? Will anything stay the same?

   The biggest question Shane asks himself as they wade through years of miscommunication and hurt is 'Where do we go from here?'
