    Summary

    A routine family dinner with Shane’s parents is supposed to be a safe haven, but the wires in Ilya's hyper-vigilant mind are already short-circuiting.

    When David raises his hand in a fast, playful motion toward Shane, the innocent gesture drags Ilya screaming back to a cramped, terrifying apartment in Moscow.

    His oldest survival instinct immediately overrides everything else: protect the person you love.

    Dropping to his knees to take a blow that isn't coming, Ilya lays his deepest, most heavily guarded trauma completely bare on the living room floor.
