Summary:

“Loving you - being loved by you - has made me feel brave,” Shane says, like it isn’t the most important thing anyone has ever said to Ilya. He feels like he is floating. Ilya’s chest is warm and fuzzy, and he is so overcome with affection and happiness, that he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He doesn’t think there’s enough room in his chest for all the love that he is feeling right now - for his husband, for the life they have built together, for the future they have fought for.
