Summary
What if Jude had a friend during his time spent with Dr. Traylor? And what if they fell in love?
"“‘Jude.’” The word spilled from his lips like a promise; it was the first time he had not cringed hearing his own name. The way Jack said it, however fleeting, made him feel something almost akin to love for it, which—he was only on the verge of recognizing—he had begun to feel for the boy as well."
(This fic begins in Chapter 5, around page 628 of the paperback version of the book, where Jude recounts his first few days after meeting the doctor.)
