  1. “Hi Irina.” Ilya feels his blood still in his veins. His vision almost immediately blurs at the sound of his mother’s name falling so gently from Shane’s lips. Shane rambles something, almost to himself, before: “I’m Shane. Shane Hollander. And I’m in love with your son, Ilya.” Ilya’s breath catches, heart lurching in his chest, fluttering almost painfully as the realization hits him: He’s introducing himself to her. . . or Shane talks to Ilya’s mom, Ilya overhears.

  2. Ilya knew sadness could kill, and it could do it quietly like it took his mother. So he stayed charming, desirable, and useful. He never asked for reassurance, didn’t get needy. He would never admit he needed Shane. Right?

  4. "You okay?" Shane asks when they stop at the first red light some thirty minutes later. Ilya looks straight ahead, fingers restless on the steering wheel. Excitement? Anxiety? "Yes. Maybe. Not sure yet," he replies. Ilya returns to Russia one last time to say goodbye and introduce Shane to his mother.
