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

“So, let me see if I’ve got this straight,” Jeff said, staring at the busy bartender’s back as if trying to bore holes into it with his eyes. “This guy is making enough noise for three daycare centers, but you’re not doing anything about it because he’s…” Jeff paused as the bartender turned, caught Jeff’s eye, and nodded at the empty bottle that Jeff held up. Drink secured, Jeff returned his one-eyebrow-lifted, obviously scoffing gaze back to Leo. “Because he’s cute?”


Leo rolled his eyes. “No. Not once did I say that, and I know that you knowI didn’t say that. I’m giving him a break because it sounds like he’s having a hard time and sometimes people need that, Jeff. You ever heard of a little thing called karma?”


Jeff exchanged his twenty for a bottle of beer and gave the bartender a nod and a smile. “You sound like your dad.”
