    Summary

    Ilya has talked to a lot of people during his time at the shelter. They come here, they fall in love with animals, and feel sympathy for their situation. It is so easy to see the emotions in their expression, in how their brows furrowing or smiles dance around their mouths. He usually focuses on the animals he works with, not the people coming here, but he cannot stop himself from following Anya as she makes her way towards the guy currently watching the guinea pigs.

    He is less expressive, as if he is holding back feelings towards the creatures around him, but Ilya is convinced that there is deep emotion in the depths of his eyes, as he looks at Anya. He sees the way his dark eyes sparkle like cool pools of water in the moonlight and Ilya needs to pull himself from their depths to answer his question without looking like a fool.

    ___
    Or: Ilya owns an animal shelter. Shane is suddenly very motivated to do volunteer work.

    Summary

    "Did I pass the test?" Ilya said, trying to hide the flair of annoyance that sparked deep within his chest. He couldn’t help it. She was making him feel like he was on trial. "I am trying not to take offense to this, but when have I ever been at risk for leaking confidential details? Contract or not." Svetlana just hmmm’d to herself.

    "The client insisted on the contract, my hands were tied. In order to read the brief, you had to sign. I'm sorry. You have my implicit trust, Ilyusha. I hope you know."

    "The client insisted? Please, put me out of my misery. Who is this client?"

    or

    Shane gets viciously outed, and seeks confidential, professional Dominant services to cope with the fallout.

    Summary

    “Sounds boring,” Ilya comments, unable to stop himself. “Okay, so what is that emergency, Sveta? You said guy dropped two days ago.”

    “They’ve already tried three different professional doms and nobody managed to take him out of it, so–”

    “Who's they?” Ilya interrupts her.

    “The hockey team. Montreal Voyagers. They are flying him in to us now.”

    "Why plane? Drive to Ottawa takes two hours only.”

    “Yes, but apparently he’s… not cooperating.”

    The Behavioral Education & Authority Relationships Services. B.E.A.R.S. for short.

    (Shane is strong, stubborn, difficult and he bites. Ilya is instantly whipped).

    Summary

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    Summary

    After the tuna meltdown, they never really get the chance to get back together, only watching each other’s lives from a distance, occasionally reaching out through texts, pretending it’s enough.

    Until one day, Shane receives a package at his doorstep.
    It’s a book. It’s Ilya Rozanov’s memoir.
