Summary:

“So, uh, look, we should forget that happened in there, okay?” he says, glancing quickly up at Rozanov before remembering he absolutely cannot do that.

“Is what you want?” Rozanov says, so goddamn nonchalant. For a second, Shane hates his guts.

Shane fully intends to say ‘yes’. He needs to forget what happened, and even more so, he needs Rozanov to forget what happened. He can’t have Rozanov telling anyone that Shane Hollander got a hard-on in the locker room showers.

He intends to say ‘yes’, but what he says instead is, “No.” He swears he opened his mouth and formed the word ‘yes’, but that’s definitely not what came out. He tries again, hoping it was just some Freudian slip, but what comes out is, again, “No.”
