Summary
Sequel to Breathing Room
Ilya Rozanov has spent five years holding Shane Hollander at arm’s length - not because he didn’t love him, but because he loved him too much to ask him to risk everything for something that could fall apart. He was good at that: the careful distance, the walls that looked like indifference, the way he’d learned to be close without being close. He’d had a lot of practice.
What he didn’t have practice for was what came after he was done lying to himself. He didn’t have practice for this - for something warm and bright and absolutely terrifying. Something that fits in the spaces between games and cities and the distance between Boston and Raleigh. Something that makes Ilya think, for the first time in a long time, that maybe the risk is worth it.
He just needs to figure out what to do with it all before their careers swallow them whole
He doesn’t get the chance to think about it for very long.

Summary
Shane has never questioned how much Ilya loves him.
What he questions is whether Ilya understands what love asks of him.
After months of thoughtless habits, crossed boundaries, and conversations left unfinished, the cracks in their long-distance relationship become impossible to ignore. Neither of them wants to lose what they've built. Neither of them really knows how to stop hurting the other.
A story about emotional intimacy, learning to communicate, and discovering that love isn't just something you feel. It's something you practice.
