   Summary

   “I was afraid this might be what you were hiding.”

   Ilya swallows hard. “Afraid?”

   “I knew it wouldn’t be something bad,” Shane says. “But I was starting to get scared it was something really, really sad instead.”

   Or: Ilya survives a suicide attempt as a teenager and spends the rest of his life hiding the scars. Everyone assumes, incorrectly, they know what he’s hiding. Until Shane.
