Summary
“Mama,” he says, bringing the cigarette to his lips. “You have been worried about me. I know.”
The smoke in his throat is so familiar. When he breathes out, it's already jagged. "I wanted to tell you that you don't have to be. Not anymore."
(Or: after waking early one morning at the cottage, Ilya goes down to the water to talk to his mother.)

Summary
It was so easy to see Yuna in Shane, you could miss all the ways he was like his father too. But sitting across from David Hollander for the first time in his life, Ilya began to count all the David in Shane too—the wide shoulders, the reserved composure, the expressive eyes. Those same eyes were now assessing Ilya as they waited for Shane and Yuna to finish their talk outside. There was no censure in David’s gaze; merely curiosity. Ilya was used to disappointed fathers; he didn’t know what to do with a kind one.
A snippet of Ilya and David's conversation from episode six because we're never leaving the cottage.

Summary
“Don’t–” Ilya starts, already reaching, already cupping Shane’s face between both hands, thumbs warm and tender against his cheekbones like they’ve always belonged there.
Shane’s eyes are big and gorgeous and genuinely curious. “Don’t what?”
Don’t make me look like a lovesick idiot. Don’t make my heart trip over itself for a way out of my chest and into yours. Don’t say it like that—so fucking sincere—like you don’t know how devastating it is for me.
“Don’t butcher my language,” he says instead and kisses Shane’s smile hard, like reflex, like gravity, like there was never going to be another option.
