Summary
Set after episode 2.
Ilya goes to Montreal for work (he tells himself) and finds Shane at a gay bar, dragged there by his oblivious friends.

“Hollander,” Ilya said as low as he could. “How much have you had to drink?”
“Probly… too much.”
“And you do not want to come out publicly as gay, yes?”
Drunkenly, Shane wiggled his head from right to left.
“Y-yes—I mean, yes that—no, I don’t want—” His shoulders slumped forward, and Ilya’s heart shot into his throat as he glanced around. “I—I’m not ready yet.”
“Brilliant of your fucking buddies to take you to a gay club then, yes?”
“They don’t know, asshole.”
OR
“Goodbye, Rozanov,” Shane said, unlocking his door with the code and slipping inside.
It was too hard to find the right English words for: Please let me in, because I can’t stay away from you. I’m a fucking asshole, like you say, and I came here to see you, to make sure you were okay, and I’m not done. I’m not done with you, so please, for fuck’s sake, let me in.
So Ilya took the easier route.“Goodnight, Hollander.”
