Character: Connor

Connor doesn't really remember the father who left when he was five. He saw him afterwards, for a while, until 'that woman's' resentment meant that even Connor couldn't be bothered with the whole visitation thing. What he remembers is his mother and her thin-lipped expression when the rare maintenance cheques turned up, the ones she didn't cash.

She loves him, but... He remembers how hard she worked, how tired she was all the time, snapping at his daydreaming, his untidiness, with weariness in every word.

That's why Lester's flat, with its post-it notes and barely hidden exasperation, feels like home.
