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

Gordy grunted and shoved at Belinda until the cords in his neck stood out on both sides. “Come on, Bee, don’t be a jerk.”


Leo set down the frame and threw the mattress on it, then stalked into the hallway and glared at the two of them. “Are you seriousright now?” With one arm he moved Gordy aside and unceremoniously picked up Belinda. She barely had time to squawk before he dumped her in the bedroom, but she immediately lost interest in her fury at being manhandled and hopped up on the bed. She began to bounce, seemingly thrilled with her new toy, and as Leo shut the door to seal her in, the front door to the apartment opened.


Gordy looked at Leo, his big blue eyes shining, and his forehead creased into a frown. He appeared for all the world as if he was about to start praying. Instead, he whispered, “Can I just tell him I was naked?”
