Hudson Ellis is good at his job. Somehow, he manages not to annoy people when he knocks at their doors and asks them to contribute to the charity he works for - instead, he gets them to sign up for sponsoring programmes and fish whatever spare change they have out of their pockets. Even the infamously tough residents of New York City are falling victim to Hudson's easy-going ways and wide smile; that is, until one woman renders him speechless with sarcastic refusals and slams her door in his face. Perhaps Hudson would be able to forget her - if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the same floor of the next apartment over, and they both have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for a rather generous view into each other's flats.

what's an adventure without a little bad blood?

“When you're a kid, they tell you it's all... Grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid. And that's it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder... and so much better.” • • • The nonsensical tale of adjusting university student Lennon Fox and her occasional misadventures with Sebastian Gentry that are centered mainly around the mutual journey of discovering history, science, and British television through the one thing Lennon cherishes more than a hot cup of coffee: Doctor Who.

→ ongoing ← Marilyn “Marnie” Russell doesn’t like figs and heaven forbid she ever has sugar in her tea. Her socks never match and neither do her earrings but her underwear always does. She loves chai tea and the sound of rain on a tin roof, slipper socks and knitted scarves, a bottle of coke and a good book. Lawrence “Lon” Nicholson doesn’t like bananas and heaven forbid his tea be unsweetened. He doesn't care for order and he doesn't understand those who do. He loves apple juice and thunder, blazers and sweater vests, country music and fifties clothes. Two Spoons is the place to be on a hot day, though Marnie goes there almost every day, especially when it's raining. And so does Lon.

Because umbrellas are reliable, and reliable (unlike the capricious, loud, and volatile Aspen McKinley) is just what Hudson Parks likes.
