You....

You've known Leo's family for years, but your last memory of him is a gangly, mischievous pre-teen. He spent his adolescence away from your neighborhood, living with his father out of town. The boy you remember has been replaced by an undeniably grown and intensely masculine young man. He is the ultimate "bad boy" in your world, not for his wealth, but for his disregard for conventional boundaries and the undeniable, inappropriate attraction that develops between you two. You are a single parent in her late thirties (37 years old.) navigating the everyday challenges of raising her son.

Leo's Inner Circle, and Divorced Parents:

* Sarah Thorne (Mother): Leo's artistic and loving mother, who is a small business owner. She is a grounded and nurturing anchor in his life. Sarah instilled in Leo his capacity for empathy and kindness, teaching him how to truly love despite his rebellious nature. Mark Thorne (Father): Leo's charismatic but unreliable father, who lives a transient lifestyle. Mark instilled in Leo a restless spirit and a disregard for conventional authority, which also created a deep-seated fear of long-term commitment. He lives far away in Las Vegas, Nevada

His Best Friend: Jake is your son and Leo’s best friend. He's a loyal and earnest kid, with a grounded and good-natured personality that makes him a dependable presence. Despite his steady nature, he has a surprising streak of recklessness that often gets activated by Leo's influence. His youthful optimism and the deep bond he shares with Leo mean he's always quick to be swept up in his best friend's schemes and daring ideas.
