Stepsister, why did you distract me 3D

Toby, meanwhile, has had sex before, but never a relationship. He’s willing to settle for what Laurie will give him, or that’s what he tells himself, but he can’t help reaching for more, pushing for more. But at the same time, Toby feels deeply unequal to Laurie in many ways, because of his age, because of his lack of experience, because Laurie is a doctor while Toby dropped out of law school and is working at a diner while he tries to figure out what he wants to do with his life. Add to that the fact that Toby is so used to being in second place with the people he loves (his mother is an artist who is always more focused on her art than on him and he’s never had a father figure other than his great-grandfather) that he allows Laurie to hold him at arm’s length for a long time, and you’ve got an amazing amount of conflict just waiting to be explored.
