Sam and Rey have both suffered tragedy in their lives and this story gives them their happy ever after.

Rey is a hardworking cook at the diner and well-respected by the community. He has spent the last 6 years struggling due to a number of circumstances. "In some small ways, Sam also made him want to work harder. Not at paying work - Reign already worked hard enough for three people at those. No, it was at being a better, more alive person. At doing more than just existing, like he'd done for the last six years." Sam doesn't judge Rey for his actions, he understands running from the past and making a new life.

Both these men have demons to face and things don't go smoothly. The characters are likeable, Sam for his strength and understanding and Rey for his resilience and the love he shows for
