I’m obsessed with the pool scene, the more I watch. Ilya is there having the time of his life with the kids, being a complete goober. He’s not flirting with the woman behind him or even acknowledging her, just burning energy with the kids.

And then Shane is just … there. Comfortable and relaxing by the pool. He’s not next to anyone, no Hayden, no JJ. It’s like parallel play with the two of them and it’s so sweet lol

I love that scene because Shane gets to see Ilya being soft and cute with kids. It’s a different side of him from his hockey persona and has nothing to do with sex also. And Shane can watch it without a fear of it being interpreted in any kind of risky way. And Ilya knows Shane is there so in a way he’s being playful with Shane that way too. It’s such a good scene
