    Summary

    "I was so pissed about that awards season," she admits, and then goes further, face burning. "Me and my friends burned a Rozanov voodoo doll before the Oscars that year. Not that it worked. Obviously."

    Humiliating to admit, maybe, but she's rewarded by the way his pink lips split into a suprised smile, hand coming up to his mouth like he can't believe what he's hearing.

    "Oh my god," she says. "Sorry, I shouldn't have told you that. That's crazy. I should have kept that to myself."

    Rose meets Shane at a bar and she thinks this time, it might be destiny.

    Summary

    Michael Zhang makes his palms itchy, the back of his neck clammy and cold. The world’s going to be hard on you, he thinks, and watches the kid watch the floor, his mouth flooding with the bitter metallic taste of blood before he realizes he’s bitten down. Learn to take a hit already. He feels a kind of repulsion that he doesn’t want to be feeling, a part of him that instinctually wants to flinch away, like you would from something old, or sick.

    This is what it's like, seeing your reflection.

    Summary

    “Do you have a budget?” Shane asked once, early on. 

    Ilya looked at him with such patent confusion that for a moment Shane thought that he didn't know the word in English. Then Ilya said, “No, Hollander. I do not have a budget,” voice dripping with disdain.

    “You really should,” Shane said, parroting the line he’s heard from his parents so many times before. “It’s important to manage your finances.”

    Ilya just rolled his eyes.

    -

    Or: how Shane and Ilya rectify their very different attitudes towards money.

    Summary

    Other families had grandparents, cousins, but the Hollanders, no, and why ask questions that did not have answers?
