Colin Hunt, a vivacious and outspoken art student, is a comic-reading, anime-loving, all-around geek. What he lacks in size, he most definitely makes up for in personality. But things have been tough for him lately. A heavy workload. A showcase to prepare for his final. A sick mother to take care of. Ever the optimist, he's more interested in finding someone to have some fun with rather than finding anyone serious. For Dexter Erikson, life has been difficult ever since an accident left him in foster care and cost him part of his arm. After discovering music therapy, he found an outlet for his pain and the perfect way to express himself. Now, sporting tattoos and piercings, Dexter is the lead singer of a pretty kick-ass punk rock band and owns the stage like it's nobody's business. He’s also goofy and dorky, shy and bashful, with a bad habit of falling in love yet a horrible fear of commitment. So what happens when vivacious geek meets shy punk rocker? The first answer is a lot of sex. The second answer might bring both Colin and Dexter to places they never dreamed possible.

“You won’t mind?” Dexter asked quietly, gazing at his feet. “I…never have anything to do on Thanksgiving.”


Then it was the truth. He really just didn’t want to impose. But it also meant that he’d be alone.


Colin grabbed hold of his hand and pointed up at the board. He and Lena explained their tradition. They even let Dexter pick the spot to go this year.


Dexter’s choice put them back on Long Island for the day, in a town almost two hours away. They couldn’t even figure out how to pronounce the name of it and needed to ask when they got there. They found an open diner and spent three hours ordering slices of the different pies.
