Prologue
He should have known they were never going to be a normal couple. Should have known that their relationship was always going to be backwards and chaotic.
There was a plan he created: dating, sex, cohabitation then marriage. He's lived his whole life believing this was the formula for a happy life...and twice this formula has failed him.
Like Gail always says, he needs to stop thinking all together and just live by her word. (Cut to one orgasm later and he's panting in agreement.)
They went from zero to sixty within a single moment, ending with what they both assumed was a one night mistake.
Little did they know that a connection was forged that night over warm beer and a bowl of stale peanuts. One moment they were swapping horror stories before "ooey gooey" feelings in the next. (She claims to have used the term caustically, but he knows better.)
So maybe their relationship did start out backwards...but their relationship is also going to move him forward. It's going to push him closer to the closure he's needed but has always been too afraid to look for.
Gail Peck is going to introduce him to his family.
This idea came to me while I was in the middle of a five hour nap. Yeah. I clearly have no idea what I'm doing anymore. I just know that I'm fascinated with Luke's background. This is kind of a testing the waters thingie. I've got a rough outline and 3-4 SUPER ROUGH chapters already written. Not sure how often I'm gonna update or how many chapters are gonna be in this but if this is something you want to read more of, just drop a line and let me know =)
