Summary
River meets Frank at a bar.
He’s all the things the O.B. Would disapprove of; American, old enough to be his father, and undoubtedly dangerous. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for River, this fits his type to a T.
Frank meets River at a bar.
His son is drunk, endearingly desperate for a daddy to take care of him, and with eyes that burn just like his mother’s. Presented with the opportunity to spend the weekend in hiding with a pretty, eager to please young companion, and start making concrete steps bringing River back into the family fold, why would Frank turn down the opportunity?

Summary
'Instinct told him he should be reaching for the gun before Frank could, but the mix of shame, exhaustion, soreness, sensitivity and sogginess made movement seem quite impossible. Frank was on his feet first, River barely gathering himself enough to pull up his trousers and sit before Frank had a gun trained on his head.
River looked up at him, unable to look away. He didn’t know what he expected to find in Frank’s eyes but hesitation, reluctance, wasn’t quite it.'
Or, River and Frank's tussle in the Pembrokeshire snow takes a strange turn, and everything changes.

Summary
‘Rescued’ by Slough House from his Father, River is dragged away from the life he loves, the man he loves, and back into the stagnant hell of his life before he met Frank.
None of them understand. They think he’s some tortured, traumatised, weak little thing. But he’s not. Frank has made him so much better.
And, even when separated - the memento of his love Frank left on his skin keeps him comfort, never letting him forget where he belongs, and who owns him.
