Summary:

Ilya used to think Shane was a bad liar.

He would, after all, notice every time Shane stammered through a falsehood or half-truth. Sometimes he even let him.

Now, Ilya wonders if maybe they weren't built to understand one another. Cosmically destined for one another in a way that others aren't. Mama used to talk about people like that, people made by fate for one another, misunderstandings are natural even with the ones you love; but there are some people that you just get.

Shane is a bad liar. A bad liar to Ilya who he refuses to look at and when he does the shame of the lie is written in every freckle on his beautiful face.

To others not so much.
