    Summary

    Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics.

    It shouldn't have been any different.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    It is.

    Summary

    At two a.m, she informs Ilya via text that she will be moving to Newfoundland indefinitely and should he like to join her, she will be flying into St. Johns, renting a car to drive down to Grand Bank, and then chartering a boat to Cape la Hune.
    He sends her a voice message five minutes later which she does not listen to and reads his text in the morning over her kale-strawberry smoothie.

    Try not to drown.

    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.
