in another universe big city lawyer george has finally made it. he has it all; a job at the best firm in london, an expensive condo, a membership to the most elite run club in the city and most recently a huge diamond ring. courtesy of one well spoken and wealthy art gallery owner charles leclerc who seems to be the perfect life partner. sure, they may not be madly in love or anything but george got the rock. martial bliss, babies and white picket fences should follow. uh just one small issue, george already has all that. well maybe not the martial bliss part but the kids, the fences and...the husband.
farm owner alex albon never thought he would see george again. but here he is, the love of his life standing just outside the barn with his fashionable chinos, shiny loafers and file of divorce papers. in all his hurry to ditch alex and their small town george clearly forgot to discard him in the eyes of the law, how ironic. they had gotten married straight out of high school and were planning on moving to the city where george could study to become a big shot lawyer and alex would do...something. they were so in love but...tragedy struck and alex had more responsibilities to fulfil than just his new spouse's dreams. he had a deteriorating farm to rebuild, younger siblings to raise, loans to pay off etc. so he may have neglected his husband but george didn't have to run off, all he had to do was wait and alex would have fixed it. alex would have always fixed it for george.
now when george is asking him to sign the papers and fix this once and for all, alex says no. because its funny seeing george's professional exterior crumble and he's feeling pretty fucking petty. george is back in town and he's not leaving till he gets that sign. btw in the end, george ends up not leaving...not without alex.
