Summary:

Back at the table, after another round, Shane started talking with his hands, his fingers grazing Ilya’s side whenever he spoke. He laughed too loud at something Hayden said and sank fully into Ilya, cheek nuzzling his shoulder. Jackie raised her glass. “Ah,” she said. “There it is.” -or- Shane and Ilya join Jackie and Hayden for a night out. Shane is drunk, bold, and ridiculously charming. Ilya is patient, teasing, and totally in control. For tonight.
