Chronic fatigue syndrome is a state of profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may get worse with physical or mental activity. This fatigue significantly interferes with daily activities and work. I have that syndrome. My name is William Elijah Brookes and I haven't left the house in over two months. My closet consists of comfy clothes and socks, along with several pairs of slippers. My closest friend is my older sister, who brings me chocolates, teddies and house plants to dote on. I am a CFS sufferer. I am The Pajama Kid.

Elijah has spent his whole life hiding his body , working odd jobs, avoiding emotional entanglements, never daring to trust anyone enough to reveal himself fully. Everyone sees the rough exterior: a towering man who works construction jobs and drives an old truck. Nobody sees the shy heart under it. Nobody has ever touched him - really touched him - and loved what they found. Until Dean. Dean moves into town after retiring from Military, setting up a custom furniture business. He's instantly drawn to Eli not because Eli tries to impress him, but because of the way Eli looks away every time Dean looks at him like he sees him.

"How dare they!" Kyle exclaimed, his high-pitched voice echoing off the walls. "I won't do it! I won't marry some stranger just because Daddy wants to merge businesses!" His father, Han, stood calmly, towering over Kyle. "Kyle, sweetheart, it's for the best. Leon is a good man, and this union will secure our family's future." Kyle's face turned beet red as he stomped his foot. "My rights are being misused! I'm an adult, for crying out loud! I can make my own decisions!" The door creaked open, and Leon walked in, his 6'7" frame commanding attention. His piercing gaze softened as he took in Kyle's tantrum. Kyle, still fuming, didn't notice Leon's arrival. "I won't be treated like a commodity! I'm a person, not a business deal!" Leon's lips curled into a gentle smile as he watched Kyle's antics. He approached Han, his deep voice soothing. "I think I'll take it from here, sir." Han nodded, relieved, and exited the room. Kyle, finally noticing Leon, halted his pacing. Their eyes met, and Kyle's scowl deepened. "And who are you?" Leon's calm demeanor was a stark contrast to Kyle's fury. "I'm Leon, your...betrothed."
