SYNOPSIS

Gordon meets with Curtis for one of their weekly walks at their favourite forest trail when Curtis informs Gordon that he and his family have to relocate a few hours away for work. Gordon is opposed to this being confronted with the idea of being truly alone, however Curtis reassures him that he will still find time to come down to visit to have their weekly walks. When Curtis misses their next walk due to complications at work, Gordon struggles with feeling left behind and forgotten. He reminisces of the times he was surrounded by family, wishing he could have it all back. Ultimately, he is able to find new inspiration, and learns to adapt to overcome the situation.
