   Summary

   He wondered if there's a lady somewhere-waiting. If she's kind. Beautiful. If she knew Ilya pulled people in like this. If she knew how it felt to drown in him and not even want to be saved.

   Shane thought of her sometimes. Imagined her in a quiet kitchen, pouring coffee into a mug Ilya picked out. Sitting on the edge of a shared bed, waiting for a guy who said he had a council meeting or class.

   Shane imagined being her, and his stomach would churn with guilt.
