Calliope is here to love him for eternity, thanks. 🖤🖤🖤 She and I also second people reading the book and picking up characters because it's a fantastic book.
Jordan Wolfe works part time at Chapter One, so they'll likely run into each other there! He can help him track down anything he's looking for. :)
Noah Ritter frequents Roll of the Die pretty often, and he's a gamer and a nerd, despite being buff and tattooed. lol. So, he might see Thomas down there! His sister Eve hosts D&D Night with a group of their friends, and if Thomas would be into that kind of thing and they befriend him, I'm certain they would be willing to add him to their campaign. (I have others that play in this group that could meet him that way if that happens.)
Malachi should meet him because he's super into science and astrophysics and all things space. lol. Plus, they both have similar situations in which their significant other's parents are The Literal Worst and it made things awkward and awful for both of them. lol. Mal is still attending D.U. but he does a lot of volunteer work around town, works at Java Chip, and likes to read, so they should meet!
Of course, Jeb owns Grandma's, so they're bound to meet eventually. xD They could be friends.
Those are the obvious ones, but I'm down for everything! ;)
