   Summary

   Ruben had become a familiar face; not a well-known one, certainly not a intimate one, but there was something in the gravitational field of both of them that seemed to push them to meet in the middle, more and more frequently.

   Now, with a twenty-year-old Ruben standing in his doorway, wearing work overalls and carrying a toolbox, Niall was speechless. What were the chances that the person his university was sending to fix his radiator was going to be none other than Ruben Pallister?
