author's note

Gabriel has secrets.
He moved to get away from his parents-or something like that. Leaving behind his wealthy family in San Francisco, he now lives in a studio apartment outside of Chicago.

Navigating his twenties and the unexpected reality of being an adult leaves him more introverted than ever, only meeting one person who understands him-his best friend Diego. Two years into his new life and things could be a lot better.

Fresh out of a short but bittersweet relationship, and desperately needing work, he accepts a job as a dish washer at a local diner.

This is where Gabriel meets Sadie.
This is just the beginning.
