This is really a beautiful story.  I cringed when it seemed to begin with the traditional trope of:  Meet person, declare MINE, sex, fall in love.  But that was barely where the story started.  After all, there is more to a lifelong relationship than declaring MINE.  This story shows how a relationship comes into being, how a family is made out of strangers, and how love can be carefully cultivated.  Luke and Brian are beautiful characters but more so how they interact with everyone else, creating family where neither of them had experience.Luke is wonderful and openhearted.  I loved him, not so much for anything he said but for what he did.I have this in my favorite book pile for those days when I need a reminder that there can be wonderful, caring people in the world.Loved it.
