Leo’s celebrating Christmas with Alex and Alex’s boyfriend’s family. It should’ve been awkward, since he doesn’t know any of them, but instead he finds himself irresistibly pulled towards on member of the family. But Leo has never had a relationship with anyone and doesn’t think he’s made out for that. No matter how much he wanted to have one, he’d always been alone and that was probably how it was always going to be.
Thomas has always done what was right. He grew up as the youngest son in a dysfunctional home, he took in his sister’s son when she and his mother couldn’t take care of him anymore, and then he took in his brother’s three children when he killed himself. Thomas has done his best by his four nieces and nephews; he’s given them the stable life they otherwise wouldn’t have had. But now that they’re old enough to move out, and Thomas doesn’t know what to do with himself. For the first time, he faces a future all alone… or does he?
