    Summary

    “You will not be so nice when we beat you,” Ilya told Shane Hollander, holding onto his hand, not letting him pull away. Not yet.

    But Hollander’s brow furrowed, not in anger but in confusion. “Ah, um, sorry,” Hollander said. “Merci. My English is bad. Worse… than you. Maybe slower?” And he leaned in, like that would help him understand.

    Ilya’s eyebrows rose, and his smile widened.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov grew up in Russia. Shane Hollander was raised in France. When they first meet, neither of them can speak English very well. Somehow, it’s easier to understand each other when words aren’t getting in the way.

    (Stand-alone remix of “I’m Reading Your Lips (You’re Speaking My Language)” but this time neither of them are native English speakers, and learning a new language is sort of like falling in love, if you think about it.)

    Summary

    “How fast were you driving?” Shane asked.

    Ilya groaned, rolling his eyes. “A normal speed.”

    “You can’t have been driving a normal speed. I was driving at a normal speed, and you beat me here.”

    “Yes, second time tonight I beat you.”

    Shane glared at him, but went and opened his front door anyway. As soon as it clicked shut, Ilya was pressing him up against the wall, his mouth on Shane’s neck.

    Summary

    Shane swore as he saw the contact and swiped the call button. “What the fuck Rozanov.”

    A few seconds passed before a female voice cracked on the line. “Jane?”

    Cold dread flooded Shane’s insides. He fought the urge to hang up, but he didn’t reply either.

    “Listen. Okay, listen” She said with an accent like Ilya’s, and a quiver in her voice. “There’s been an accident. Ilya-.” She falters on his name. “He’s in a bad way, I don’t—know anybody in Montreal. I think maybe, uh. I don’t know what to do, I know about you and Ilya and I think you should be here. I need to not be the only one Ilya knows here.”

    Shane stopped existing for a few minutes before something kicked in and he robotically replied to the voice. “Where is he?”

    Ilya is gravely injured in a car accident in Montreal. Svetlana and Shane have to be there for each other as his life hangs in the balance.
