Summary
“I would have married you, you know,” Ilya says, eyes determined but yielding, genuine and raw. “For real.”
And it doesn’t feel like the gift of control. It doesn’t feel like momentum, and Shane doesn’t know how to take these words and create direction.
It feels like a weight in his stomach and a fire to his plans and like the rug has been yanked from under him so quickly that he’s falling before he can put his hands up.
And all Shane can say in response, unplanned and unpracticed, is, “I didn’t even think you liked me that much.”
OR
Post-tuna melt incident, Ilya can't return to Boston due to problems with his visa. Shane offers him a place to stay.
