Ilya: I don’t deserve you.
Svetlana: Yes, you do. But you don’t want me.
Ilya: You know I love you.
Svetlana: I know you do. But it’s not the same as it is with Jane, is it? I love you too. And whatever you need, I’ll be here. I’m not going anywhere. I just hope Jane knows how lucky he is.

Book vs TV Series
This heartwarming moment where Svetlana shows she knows “Jane” is a guy is a show original! It’s a sweet addition that shows Ilya has a real support system in his corner. There is only one “scene” in the book where Svetlana is talking and that is when she and Ilya are watching hockey, the rest of the book, he only mentions her.
