When Roger’s much younger lover, Craig, moved in, he brought Cleo with him. When Craig leaves them finally and unexpectedly Cleo is left behind to grieve with Roger. And Cleo becomes the center of his life. But Roger needs someone to look after him too.
Alienated from his son, his understanding daughter-in-law wants him to come to them or move nearby, but Roger finds that not only is there nowhere for him there, but there is definitely nowhere there for Cleo.
When things look bleakest it’s an old lover who comes to the rescue of not only Cleo, but also Roger.

all been messy, even though Roger thought his life was settled before that day

as he sat on the park bench reading his Sunday copy of the New York Times.
Things were going just fine with Frank—well, they were going to get back to
