    Summary

    They weren’t friends, necessarily, but they got along at least. Rose was definitely skeptical of Ilya, suspicious of him and his intentions even, but she at least was playing nice with him now. He had resolved to be as warm with her as possible, unless she made it impossible to do so, because she was the best friend Shane had ever had and he genuinely wanted Rose to like him. Someone who mattered this much to Shane meant that she automatically mattered to Ilya too, and he wanted her to approve of him and like him as a person. It was kind of mortifying, because if you had asked Ilya six months ago if he would care if his partner’s best friend liked him, he would have laughed in your face. Now he was pandering to a woman who was a full head shorter than him and spent her days listening to children screech like wounded cats. Oh how things had changed.

    Ilya and Shane are in love, and Ilya will be damned if he doesn’t win over Rose as well, because he knows how important she is to Shane, which means she’s now automatically important to Ilya too.

    OR: A glimpse into the developing platonic relationship between Rose and Ilya.
