    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”

    Summary

    “He wants doll brushes because he’s seen the girls at the park brushing their plushies with them. Their dolls too, obviously. But he wants to brush that pelt you brought him-”

    David sets his crossword book down, giving Yuna his full attention.

    “What?”

    “The pelt of fur? Looks like a wolf, or maybe one of those big cats?” Yuna says, waving her hand dismissively. “Either way, I don’t think doll brushes are the right choice. We can look into getting him a set of actual grooming tools, he needs to learn that the right tools for the right job are an important-”

    “Yuna. Sweetheart.” David interrupts. “I did not buy our son a piece of dead animal as a souvenir from Russia.”

    OR

    Ilya loses something important at the airport; years later, Shane gives it back to him.

    Summary

    Eight years after their divorce, Ilya and Shane have become experts at avoiding each other. They only speak when absolutely necessary, never hold each other's gaze for too long, barely make eye contact, and never talk about what happened. But ignoring one another becomes nearly impossible when they're still raising two children.
    One day, Ilya gets into what seems to be a serious argument with their oldest daughter, and Shane is forced to step in. Suddenly, everything they've spent years avoiding begins to surface.

    or,

    Shane was about to break an unspoken rule.
    Because every time he and Ilya got together to talk, they ended up fucking.

    Summary

    When Rose asks to come over the second week they are in the cottage, Shane and Ilya have no idea how much their lives are going to change. For better or for worse... that's for them to decide.

    --------------------------------------------

    “You said both times were terrible.” Here, Ilya side-eyes Rose, “No offence.”

    She snorts, “None taken.”

    “Then how did you say… make baby?”

    They both look at Shane, who fidgets under their gazes. He splutters. He sighs. He runs his hand through his hair. Then, he sighs again.

    “The first time when I managed… to…” He talks to the cushion in his lap as he says this, “I was thinking of Ilya. It worked too well, I guess.”
