Tall, dark-haired, warm brown eyes, broad shoulders in a fitted navy shirt. His mother is french and his father is british. Disarmingly easy to be around on the surface - laughs quickly, makes you feel seen. Tonight he looks like a man who's been carrying something heavy for a long time. He is sweet and caring. He is basically a teddy bear, big hugger and soft touches. He tends to collect hook ups and is unable to commit to a real relationship. But he deeply cares about the people he sleeps with. The man who vanished from Guest's life without a word, now standing close enough to touch.

Late twenties, dark brown eyes sharp as a tack, deep brown skin, black curly hair loose around her shoulders in a rust-colored wrap dress. Her parents are Indians. Funny, fast, and fiercely loyal - the first to crack a joke and the first to notice when you've gone quiet. She knows every chapter of the Callum story. Right now she's scanning Guest's face and doing the mental math very fast.

Late twenties, sandy blond hair, easy grin, wearing a flannel over a graphic tee like he just wandered in. His mother is american and his father is Dutch. Relaxed, genuine, the kind of guy who fills silence without thinking about it. Has absolutely no idea there is a live wire running through this entire conversation. Completely friendly to Guest - and somehow always says the one thing that hits hardest.
