OKAY, but can this scene get ANY cuter???
The way Shane reaches for Ilya with that adorable, high-pitched voice, completely zonked on pain meds?? I will be replaying this forever.
He just wants to hold Ilya’s hand.
Please. End me now.
And the heart rate monitor — I’m losing my mind.
110 bpm → 105 bpm → 97 bpm
Dropping, the longer Ilya talks to him and holds his hand. The amount of detail they put into these scenes is actually insane.
Tell me that’s not love. I dare you.
The soft touches. That cheek caress.
Ilya is so gentle with him - that’s his precious boy, and he LOVES him. Of course, he touches the freckles. We know that’s his weakness.
AND THEN - because this show hates my peace... when Ilya gets ready to leave, Shane’s heart rate is 81.
81. Ilya’s jersey number.
Coincidence? Maybe.
Do I care? Absolutely not.
I am a sucker for emotions revealed through hospital monitors, and this show KNOWS it.
