Dimitri Ivanov spent his entire life with his shoulders hunched and head held low. It was necessary for a man as big as him, to set others at ease in his presence. After losing the only family he had left, Dimitri found his way to California. With no purpose and very little hope that anything would ever change, Dimitri buried himself in his work.

One long relationship after another, took its toll on Billie's heart. He lost his job, amicably broke up with his boyfriend Trey, and moved back home with his parents. It wasn't Billie's fault he was interested in older men who got sick of dealing with his energy, or that he couldn't rewire his brain to be up at the crack of dawn for office work hours. With his degree wasted, Billie got a job at the only place hiring within walking distance to his family home, the local flower shop and nursery.

Both men had given up, on love, on happiness, or ever finding where they fit. That was all to change.
