An annoyingly attractive but off limits roommate, an attractive but brokenhearted gay, and now an easy to talk to sworn off relationship currently girl. He seriously wondered if he had a sign plastered on his forehead that read 'emotional support shifter'.
"I'm on tomorrow. Twenty-four hours on forty-eight off. If it doesn't scare you, how about tonight?" Even if he was collecting odd situations around town, it still was a night with someone who he felt an instant connection with.
