    Summary

    Shane Hollander has always known how to live under scrutiny — how to be watched, measured, endured.

    He does not know how to live once safety is gone.
    And Ilya does not know how to love him without trying to bleed in his place.

    After a break-in fractures the illusion of normal, something shifts. The house feels unfamiliar. Silence grows teeth. Touch becomes something careful — or avoided entirely.

    Love stretches. Fear settles. And some wounds do not close simply because the door is locked again.

    This is a story about being taken — and about what remains.
    About endurance. About waiting. About loving someone who does not know how to love himself — and realising that sometimes love is not the thing that conquers, but the thing that survives.

    Or: A break-in changes everything. The danger that follows was never the one standing outside.
