Living in downtown Toronto can be expensive and frustrating, but Leo is willing to deal with the traffic and working the overtime in order to experience everything else the city has to offer. Or would be, if he had any energy left to do so. The fact that his upstairs neighbour is making more noise that a herd of elephants isn't helping things either. Tired, irritated, and on the verge of losing his patience, Leo knows that things have got to change.<br><br>Gordy is one of the most attractive young men that Leo has ever met, and Leo has no doubt in his mind that Gordy has been using those good looks to get whatever he wants for a very long time. So when Gordy starts turning on the charm, Leo can't help but wonder if it's actual interest or merely appeasement.<br><br>Together they're going to try and figure out just what can be done with Gordy's new roommate -- an energetic, excitable, and very noisy young goat whose visit comes with a deathbed promise and a tight family bond. What Leo doesn't realise is that she also comes with an ability to make him understand more about himself than he could have ever imagined he needed to learn.

Gordy's Got a Problem

Leo reached for the seat beside him. “You want my jacket, Sam? You can bring it up to me tomorrow sometime.”


Samir shook his head. “Someone’s in your spot.”


He’d said “spot” with enough of a spit that Leo could tell he was hoping for drama. A good shout off between neighbours was pretty entertaining to a bunch of kids too young to venture far enough away to find actual fun.


“What do you mean?” Leo asked, even though he knew exactly what Samir meant. It wasn’t the first time and it wouldn’t be the last someone had ignored the numbers on the parking spaces and grabbed his empty one. That’s what happened when your parking spot was too close to the entrance.


Samir wiped his nose and pointed with the same slicked-up hand. “You know what. Number eight. Your parking spot. That white car with the throwing star on it.” He looked at Leo, eyes sparkling. “You gonna tear them up?”
