Summary
Ilya took in the bread, and the flowers, and the stone, and the blini, and the vodka, and the photo of his beautiful, sad, perfect mother frozen in time. And he reached back to take Shane’s wrist in his hand, and pulled it across his chest, like he could tie them together for a lifetime, buoying them against all tides.
Here. Feel this? This is what it is. What does it feel like to you? Share it. Show me.
Shane had found a way to share it. To show him. Without too many words.
OR
The only thing Ilya truly grieved when he cut all ties to Russia was the one thing he couldn't take with him.
Shane finds a way, though. He always does.

Oscar left him devastated, alone, and more guarded than he was before. But when circumstances force him to take his personal security more seriously, he discovers it is hard to hide from someone who is with you all the time. And Rich, his bodyguard, is not an unobservant man. Despite his determination not to get too involved, Lando’s loneliness and hurt calls to him, making it difficult for him to fight his instincts to take care of and protect someone in need.
