   Summary

   "You don't think he..." Shane says slowly. "That he did this on purpose?"

   "I don't know. What has he said to you?" Svetlana asks.

   Nothing, Shane wants to say, but that's not completely true. He and Ilya talk every day. It's normal, or at least feels normal. It feels like having a boyfriend, and Shane really loves having a boyfriend. He loves loving Ilya and being loved by him, but Ilya hasn't said anything to him. Nothing important. Nothing that would indicate that he would drive his Porsche into the country, unbuckle his seatbelt, and crash into a guardrail on purpose.

   ~

   Ilya is found critically injured after a car accident on a quiet back road in Ottawa. Shane doesn't have much to do but wait for news from Svetlana in Ilya's empty house, listless and useless and spinning wild scenarios in his exhaustion. He starts drinking the beers in Ilya's fridge to pass the time, but time has other ideas, namely, ideas on how he can help Ilya without ever stepping foot in the hospital.
