Summary
Shane is an English landowner, a veteran of the Great War. His wife Rose died in the influenza pandemic in 1920. Now he lives alone in a crumbling manor house, tended only by his garden - roses, mostly.
Ilya is a 23-year-old Russian botanist, an émigré fleeing the Bolsheviks, who arrives at the manor seeking work. He knows plants; he knows what the soil needs. Shane hires him.
They spend the season together in the garden: planting, pruning, coaxing life from the earth. The attraction is quiet at first, then undeniable. And in the walled garden, hidden from the world, they create something that neither of them has ever had: a place where they can be exactly who they are.Bookmarked by Marie1993

Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.

Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.- Language:

Summary
There were exits in life.
He’d decided that if things became unbearable for long enough, there was always a way out.
Now, there was the option to stay, and keep going. And there was the option to go back to Russia, and keep going. But then, there was also the third option. Always there, waiting for him if he ever decided to take it.
