    Summary

    “Okay?” Ilya’s voice is softer now.

    A thousand questions underlie that single word. Are we really going to do this? Are we willing to admit that this is worth finding out about? Is this worth fighting for?

    They can’t. Maybe they could have before, but if this is true, if Shane is— Shane can’t.

    “Okay,” he breathes out, instead, foolish and doomed.

    Or: Ilya comes from a line of vampire hunters. Shane gets turned into a vampire right after finding out.

    Summary

    Ilya: Are you waiting for my plane to leave, Hollander?
    Jane: No
    Ilya: So we leave the cottage and you don't want to be honest anymore?
    Jane: Ok fine. I am. Is that silly?
    Ilya: No. I am taking photos of birds just to have something to talk to you about.
    Jane: You can always talk to me
    Jane: And you can always be honest with me. We should probably try to keep that cottage honesty thing going as long as we can?
    Ilya: Ok
