by Mary CalmesLe professeur d’anglais Nathan Qells, quarante-cinq ans, est doué pour donner de l’importance aux personnes qui l’entourent. Cependant, il est moins bon quand il s’agit de préserver une relation. Il est sympathique, mais il a du mal à discerner les sentiments des autres personnes. Ainsi, même après tout le temps qu’il a passé à s’occuper de Michael, le lycéen qui habite en face de chez lui, il ne réalise pas qu’Andreo Fiore, oncle et tuteur légal de Michael, a commencé à tomber amoureux de lui. Dreo a des problèmes plus urgents à régler que de montrer à Nate qu’il pourrait être un partenaire potentiel. Il élève son neveu, tout en essayant de quitter le monde de la mafia et de monter sa propre affaire, un processus rendu plus difficile lorsqu’une fusillade survient, éliminant quelques personnages clés du milieu. Cela n’empêche pas Dreo de persévérer dans sa quête d’une nouvelle vie dont il pourrait être fier – une vie dans laquelle Nate aurait une place essentielle. Une vie qui pourrait ressembler à celle dont Nate a toujours rêvé. Malheureusement pour Dreo – et pour Nate – la dernière fusillade n’était que la partie immergée d’une restructuration importante de la mafia, et l’amour évident que porte Dreo à Nate fait de ce dernier une nouvelle cible.
