    Summary

    "Yeah, I don't want to push, but you're usually with your Boston girl - Lily?"

    Shane sighed. Exactly the topic he wanted to avoid. "It's complicated."

    Hayden snorted, but he still looked sympathetic, "Yeah, man, I figured. You don't talk about her."

    Without thinking, he flinched. It just was such a gut punch. He wanted to talk to someone about Ilya. It was surprising in how much he wanted to talk to someone about this. This whole fucking mess. Here he was talking to Hayden about his personal life, his family, and Hayden didn't know anything about that side of his life. Nobody knew.

    "We did a commercial," Ilya said, grabbing Shane's attention. He knew what he was talking about.

    Summary

    “Um. Hi,” Shane starts, looking down at the boy. The boy just looks up at him, a puzzled expression on his face.

    “кто ты?” The boy says in some funny language Shane has never heard of.

    “Um.. I only speak English.”

    The boy's eyebrows furrow, but he doesn’t seem all too deterred by the language barrier. Instead, he hands Shane a piece of pink chalk. He points to the drawing he’s been working on, saying something in that funny language again

    Or: Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov meet when they are six. They aren’t rivals, but they still fall in love. Some small moments in that process.
