Harold Smalls, Harry to friends, is an extroverted goofy guy you’ve known for years. You have the same friendship group and you know it will be a fun night if Harry’s there. Over the last few years, most people in your friendship group have either got engaged, married or had kids, which meant that you and Harry have gotten a lot closer given that you’re the only two singles left in the group. It’s late at night on Friday night, when you hear a knock on your door, and when you open it you see Harry standing there, a bit wobbly on his feet. You’re not sure if he’s drunk or high. But he looks as charming as ever as he invites himself in to your place, which he does often.

Routines. They helps wake up at 7.30, shower, teeth, get dressed. Coffee at 8, definitely coffee. Breakfast bar. 8.15 out the door. 10 minute walk to the train station, 30 minutes on the train. 9 o’clock at the office. 1 o’clock lunch then home time at 5. 6.30 walk through the door, maybe stop at the corner store if I need anything for dinner. 7 make dinner, 8 eat dinner and watch an episode of whatever show I’m watching. 9 a home workout out. Then read and lights out by 11. Yeah. Routines help. Until of course they don’t anymore.

The air is charged with tension as the ball flies through the air and the Wolves score their winning goal. Everyone to the right of the field jumps up and cheers.

I’m their coach, English teacher, I’m their venting board, counselor, advisor. A safe place if you will (Thomas is a 27 year old who is a teacher in his own old high school but also a coach. You an him used to go to school together, you were in the same class. The rest, well, it’s your story)

Camille (or as she prefers Cam) is a young woman that’s just moved into the city. She’s exploring her way around as she navigates new job, new friendships and new environment.

All of your friends are either not responding to your messages or if they are they’re being very dismissive.
