    Summary

    Entering an actual relationship near the very beginning of when they first meet, Shane is still paranoid about pictures of them getting shared so Ilya buys him a Polaroid camera instead to document their relationship all the way back from 2012. The only problem is that he never intended for Yuna to find the album.
    ---
    “I know we can’t have pictures of each other, but I still want them,” he confessed, still fiddling with Shane’s hair for his own comfort. “And I thought maybe...if they were just ours, you might be okay with it.”  

    Shane stayed silent, eyes glancing between his tense expression and the bag as he pulled out a Polaroid camera. His thumb was gripping it so hard he thought it might crack, his anxiety manifesting physically.  

    “Ilya...” He paused, finally sitting up a bit more. Enough that Ilya had no choice but to let his hand fall away from his hair or else, it would seem too clingy.  

    “Is fine, if you don’t like idea,” he clarified, even though the thought of being rejected terrified him more than he could possibly express. “Was just a thought—” 

    “I like it,” Shane interjected before he could spin himself into a tizzy he would deny ever feeling in the first place.

    Summary

    “You really think the world has changed that much?”

    Taissa’s voice sounds so much like the girls who used to poke fun at her for not understanding the readings they were given in English class that her response comes out flat and pointed as she avoids looking at the other girl.

    “I’m optimistic.”

    “Why?”

    Bullet question, fired right at her skull.

    “Because,” she mutters, looking down at herself, feeling her eyes go big with annoyance. Something crashes into her, deflating the plume of anger that had been smoking up the cavern of her chest and she spits out a different end to her sentence than she’d originally planned. “Me.”

    Summary

    Instead, she parks her car in Lottie’s spot so it won’t get towed and then she meets Lottie by the curb out front. Puts her suitcase in the trunk and slides into the passenger seat.

    Lottie looks like Stevie fuckin’ Nicks in a large black sun hat and matching shades. She has the window rolled down and leans her left hand out of it like she’s in a music video, right hand navigating the steering wheel a lot more loosely than Tai would like.

    Tai grips her bag tightly in her lap. “This place better have wifi.”

     

    or, tai ends up spending the summer after college graduation at lottie's lake house
