    Summary

    Then Scott Hunter looked at him, really looked at him with no panic or consternation or grief, just something heavy and piercing that made Ilya feel like his heart was on the outside of his ribcage. “Be safe out there, okay?”

    “Okay,” Ilya said, softer than intended.

    In real life, they both turned around and walked away into the night. But in Ilya’s memory, that never happens. They just stand there, eye-to-eye, until the sun comes up and it’s too bright to see anything else.

    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”

    Summary

    “We do not say anything about the Hollander situation,” LeClaire tells them even though it sounds like he’s already resigned to what he knows is going to happen.

    After all, Roz gets extremely mad whenever it’s brought up. Not that Cliff can blame him, he’s pretty sure that Roz liked Hollander before this (wouldn’t chirp him half as much if he didn’t). Finding out that he’s such a bastard must sting.

    Not to mention that Roz does not mess around with people that disrespect girls. Or women. Or kids. Or dogs. Or the elderly (excluding Scott Hunter). Or really anyone, if it’s for petty stupid reasons.

    “Of course,” Cliff agrees for both of them since Roz is still too busy texting someone.

    It’s apparently not good enough for LeClaire because he asks, “Roz?”

    “Just one second,” he answers without raising his eyes from his phone or stopping his typing. “Need to get my Jane to agree with something. She’s very stubborn.”

     

    Or. My take on the 'their text leak and now everybody thinks that Shane is an abusive bastard' premise. Featuring Ilya giving a presser, Marly realizing in real time who 'Jane' is and the internet reacting to the craziness.

    Summary

    Henry averts his face to the side, and Alex watches as his eyes catch sight of the signet ring. Taking a deep breath, Henry closes his eyes. When he opens them and turns to face Alex again, his eyes have a steely determinedness to them. “You should leave."

    Summary

    Prince Henry is somehow both everything and nothing like Alex expected him to be. He looks perfect, even though he is staring at his phone when Alex enters the room and takes a seat far out of the way.
    And then Prince Henry looks up, his eyes darting around as if he has no clue where he is, and lands on Alex’s face. There’s nothing there, though. No curiousness, no interest, no disdain, not a shimmer of any emotion. Prince Henry just looks at him with a blank stare until Mrs Hughes takes it upon herself to introduce Alex.
    “Henry,” the man responds. His eyes widen for a second before his face falls into a closed expression and says: “pleasure,” as if it’s anything but, and looks away.
    Right.
    Rude.

    ---

    Life has been throwing many challenges at Alex. The biggest one so far is becoming a single father. That might change, now that Alex has started a job as a solicitor for His Royal Highness Prince Henry.
    Prince Henry turns out to be different than Alex thought at first, and it doesn’t take long for them to become friends.
    But is that all they can be?
