    Summary

    TL;DR: It's like Friends meets Almost Famous with HR incidents and better oatmeal continuity.

    Shane Hollander is a freelance concert photographer with a day job at a camera shop, a bank account in active distress, and a long-standing professional fixation on Ilya Rozanov, front man of the Russian rock band Rozanov. Professional. Definitely professional.

    For years, Shane has shot Ilya from the pit: first three songs, no flash, get the shot, get out. Then Rozanov’s lead guitarist gets arrested at the border, the tour starts rearranging itself around disaster, and Shane finds himself getting closer to the machine than any photographer is supposed to get.

    A photo pass becomes a backstage pass. A backstage pass becomes a job. Access becomes proximity.

    And proximity, unfortunately, has consequences.

    Summary

    “Did J.J. try to set you up with that guy?” Hayden asked.

    Shane nodded, then frowned. "Why didn't you, like, discourage him?"

    "That dude sounded perfect for you.” Hayden immediately held his hands up as outrage flashed across Shane’s features. “What? I just think you can do better!”

    Shane’s mouth dropped open.

    “For fuck’s sake, Hayden.”

    Hayden laughed as he crossed the room and dropped down onto the bench beside him, nudging Shane’s arm with his elbow.

    “I’m kidding. Mostly. Besides-”

    Shane closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “It’s not funny.”

    “Hey,” Hayden said in a conciliatory tone, though there was no real apology in it. “Look. I fucking hate the guy, but if he’s what you want…”

    The words chafed. It felt wrong, all wrong, like someone humoring a bad decision. Like of course Shane could do better, should want better. Like it was obvious.

    Shane saw red.
