like a dog with a bird at your door
Shane leans his head against the elevator wall, wanting nothing more than to cry. His eyes are red rimmed, he knows, and the pressure behind them is building. They didn’t even kiss. He just has to wait until he’s back in his hotel room. Then he can turn on the waterworks, maybe turn on a bath and sink beneath the surface so he can’t feel the hot tears slipping from his eyes. The elevator dings at his floor. He reaches in his pocket for his keycard, but doesn’t find it. He searches his other pocket, then the pockets of his jacket. Nothing. Or, Post episode two, Shane loses his key and has to go back up to Ilya's room. And has a panic attack about it.
