Rose thinks he should practice first. She practices with her best friend, Daisy.Shane wants to be a good boyfriend
Which means learning to kiss.
Which means practice.
Which means asking the person he trusts most.
Ilya Rozanov has never said no to him before. He doesn’t start now.It’s practical.
It’s actually smart.They already spend all their time together.
They already share a bed.
It’s just practice.
Even if it happens every night.
Even if it keeps.. escalating.As Shane and Rose continue their relationship, it makes sense to practice each step.
With people they trust.
(Even if those people don’t have the correct body parts for it to make sense.)This is normal.
They are absolutely not gay.
This is just practice.
Ilya is exactly where he wants to be.Or:
Shane Hollander practices kissing with his childhood best friend to be a better boyfriend.
It works so well that they keep practicing.
Every new step.
Every base.
Shane and Rose think this is a normal system.
Ilya and Daisy do not correct them. -

Summary
Shane Hollander does not leave outcomes to chance. When traditional dating fails to produce the stability he wants, he turns to a private matchmaker who promises something more deliberate: one match, one meeting, one decision.
Ilya Rozanov never planned to get married. But when his carefully controlled life starts to unravel, marriage becomes the simplest solution.
Neither of them is looking for love. What they agree to is a calculated partnership, built on alignment, not emotion.
It should be straightforward.
It is not.

Rozanov just plays better after he’s been laid.
And the team always plays better when Roz is playing well.It was really as simple as that.
