    Summary

    They don’t… talk about the occupation, much, or about the war. These are ugly memories, a broken glass packed carelessly in a moving box, where the extent of the damage remains hidden until newspaper unfurls and something slices you open. They don’t want blood in the carpet, but at some point, you have to know how every piece ended up.

    So you unravel one glass after another, and let those shards fall where they may. Eventually, in the long dying days of moving into a new house, every box will be unpacked.

    OR

    A few conversations, a few letters, and dessert.

    Summary

    After their engagement, Ilya and Shane return to Russia under the cover of the Irina Foundation, knowing it may be the last time Ilya ever sets foot there. What waits for him is not closure, but grief, memory, and a past he learned to survive by becoming quiet and hard.

    It isn’t about going back to the life he escaped.
    It’s about one final goodbye—to the place that shaped him, and to the mother he never stopped missing.

    With Shane beside him—steady, patient, and fiercely careful—Ilya faces grief he’s spent years surviving, old fear that still lives in his bones, and the quiet truth he’s been avoiding:
    some doors don’t close cleanly… but you can still choose how to leave them.

    This is a story about grief, survival, and choosing a future where home is no longer a place, but a person.
