Oh. During the tuna melt scene in the book, as Shane is leaving and running away, Ilya takes the time to straighten Shane's clothes. Because he looks obviously disheveled, and Ilya knows he might get photographed like that. And even as Shane is pulling away and running scared and hurting Ilya and torpedoing their relationship once Ilya took the chance to try deepening it, Ilya still cares that Shane will be uncomfortable if he is caught looking disheveled in public.
This book hurts me.
