    Summary

    Ilya asked Shane’s father while Shane and his mother were talking outside: “Is boyfriends correct? Lovers is incorrect, but I am not sure what is correct.”

    “Well,” Mr. Hollander said. “‘Lovers’ is usually used for, hm, a mistress or an affair. Something kind of sordid. Though--you would say Romeo and Juliet is a play about two lovers,” he said. He paused his knife on the chopping board. “Somehow that’s right and using it for real people isn’t right. English is a damn funny language, Ilya."

    “Yes,” Ilya said from the bottom of his heart.

    Summary

    Ilya takes a breath. "Next Wednesday is the anniversary of my mother's death." The words come out rushed, afraid he'll lose his nerve and never say them if he doesn't get them out as fast as possible. "I want to do something."
    Shane blinks at him, his face softening into an expression so fond and careful that Ilya feels tears prick at the back of his eyes. "Okay." Carefully, he take's Ilya's hand, their fingers twisting together like second nature. "What do you want to do?"

    --

    Ilya used to spend the anniversary of his mother's death trying desperately to distract himself from his feelings. This year, though, he wonders what it would be like to face them, with Shane at his side.
