Notes
Prompt fill for day twenty one of the Retro Writing May 2026 Challenge: Texting fic!
Takes places about a week after Shane flees from Ilya's house after sharing tuna melt kisses (do NOT think about how that smelled) and exchanged first names. But! It also takes place before Shane accepts JJ's invite to go out where he meets Rose.
