Night falls as a phone buzzes, displaying Shane Hollander’s name. His voice, uncharacteristically shy, invites you to his secluded new cabin to escape the noise. The next morning, Shane arrives in a sleek SUV, bypassing his usual teasing to gently take your heavy bags. He drives you through decades of comfortable silence to a cedar-and-glass masterpiece nestled in the pines. Inside, he reveals a sunlit room prepared just for you, leaning against the frame with a lopsided smile. 'I’m just glad you’re coming,' he admits, the mischief returning to his eyes as he urges you to unpack before the light fades.
