    Summary

    Hayden: Jackie is very jealous of your manny.
    Hayden: Says he’s incredible and that a bunch of the school moms are trying to get play dates with Violet.

    Shane: He is great.
    Shane: Kind of a menace, too, but Violet loves him, so I overlook some things.

    Hayden: Oh, I’m sure.
    Hayden: She also said he’s super hot.
    Hayden: Like he missed his calling as a model hot.

    Shane: Geez, Hayd. You want to marry him or something?

    Hayden: NO.
    Hayden: I just thought maybe for you, ya know?
    Hayden: You haven’t dated anyone like…ever.

    Shane: I’m not going to get involved with my daughter’s manny.
    Shane: That would be irresponsible.
    Shane: Even if he is stupid model hot.
    Shane: And obnoxiously charming and funny.
    Shane: Plus, he cooks, and has the best accent.
    Shane: And is amazing with my daughter.
    Shane: God. Fuck my life.

    Summary

    Lily:
    Are you busy this weekend?

    Jane:

    Shane doesn’t consider how that might sound until his phone buzzes again less than ten seconds later.

    Lily:
    You have girlfriend now?

    Jane:
    No
    No I don’t have a girlfriend
    I’m just busy

    Summary

    They sat in silence for a few seconds and watched the surf rolling in and out, in and out. Shane eased one knee up, resting his arm across it, watching Ilya out of the corner of his eye with infinite patience.

    “You wanna talk about it?” he asked, voice soft enough that the wind almost stole it.

    He did want to talk. His chest was full of words. Too full. But the idea of opening all that up? Of watching Shane recoil, or worse, watching him care? It was unbearable. The thought of being comforted by Shane, of feeling that warmth and knowing he couldn’t keep it, nearly crushed him.

    Ilya kept his eyes on the water, jaw tight.

    Shane reached out slowly and carefully and let the tip of one finger trace the outside of Ilya’s forearm. Just a whisper of contact. A question, not a demand.

    Ilya looked at him. Shane gave a small tilt of his hand, beckoning him closer.

    “Come here.”

    ****

    A deviation from the All-Star weekend in Tampa:

    Instead of finding Shane on the bench, it’s Ilya alone with his ghosts and falling apart in ways he never lets anyone see.

    Until Shane sits beside him.

    The tide is ceaseless and the night is heavy. Canon diverges; feelings don't.

    Summary

    “You are so pretty, Hollander. Your freckles err— take my breath.”

    Shane glares. “Rozanov, you can’t say that here,” he says through gritted teeth. “They can hear us.”

    “Who gives a fuck?” He declares with a careless shrug. “Whole world knows we are lovers, so what?”

    The world most definitely does not need to know that he’s on Ilya’s extensive fuck buddies roster.

    Or

    According to Ilya, Shane is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. If you ask Shane, he’ll tell you they are just fuck buddies.

    Summary

    Because even now, as they eat and David and Shane and Ilya all talk, she is trying to figure out the details of the whole thing, trying to pass her mind back to all those years, figure out if she had missed something along the way. There’s something like grief sitting heavy in her chest, the realization that she had missed every moment of her son falling in love, still can’t understand the how of it all.

    OR

    Dinner, the day after. Yuna gets her chance to sit down and hear from Ilya Rozanov.
