    Summary

    Could Rose ever dream up a seaside town that Shane would retire to? Could Rose ever crack the lock of Shane Hollander’s heart that was so heavily guarded due to years of hiding and perfectionism? Would she ever memorize poetry in every language just to make sense of Shane and all the atoms that he was made up of?

    or, a meditative character study of Ilya Rozanov as he grapples with the aftermath of the tuna melt scene

    (9:31pm) Ilya: I’m sorry I’ve been such a burden

    (9:33pm) Ilya: I know I’ve taken away your chance to explore yourself and find someone who’s good enough for you. I think you should take that chance now. If you find a nice boy in Montreal who you like, I promise I won’t stand in the way.

    (9:34pm) Ilya: If you still want me at the end of this, I’ll be waiting

    (9:34pm) Ilya: I’m sorry

    Summary

    The coffee used to get cold. Before, when he would find every reason to linger around the kitchen counter, trading lazy kisses tasting of burnt coffee and mint toothpaste, stealing bites of breakfast sandwiches that didn’t fit with his diet during hockey season. He couldn’t help himself then. He lacked discipline and focus. But that was another lifetime. That was before. Shane was different now. He had to be.

    **********

    Four years after the cottage, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly ended their relationship.

    Two years after their split, the shape of their lives is drastically different. Ilya is in New York married to Svetlana. Shane stayed behind in Montreal and is single. They keep their distance, only spending time in the summer when required as co-founders of The Irina Foundation.

    In 2023, Shane meets someone else. Someone perfect on paper, who offers to give Shane everything he’s ever wanted. Well, almost everything he’s ever wanted.

    Shane will face the ultimate decision. And he’ll have to ask himself one question: Is this enough?

    Summary

    Shane Hollander was perfect; the perfect son, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend. He had spent years refining perfection, making sure he was the picture of it. It was second nature after all these years; a suit that didn’t quite fit, but that he’d gotten used to.
    Enter Ilya Rozanov.
