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

“I got her!” Leo hissed, jumping after Belinda who, free from her captors, was bounding down the hallway in a series of jumps that were loud enough they could have been a dozen running children. “Belinda!” he stage-whispered. “Get back here!”


He dashed to the end of the hallway where she stood at the fire door, and he managed to get all the way down the hall and in front of her before she scooted past him again. She hopped back to Gordy’s end of the hall, the hallway ringing with the boing, boing, boing of the floor. She didn’t take a single step. Every move was a bounce of glee. It was a mock. It was a “catch me if you can!”


Gordy stepped through the doorway with both arms out, clucking and cajoling, and she spun without breaking stride. With a wide smile and her eyes half-closed, Belinda came side-bouncing/dancing back to Leo.
