CHARACTER SUMMARY
Sid is the idle daydream of the man you wanted to show up to your childhood recital, high-waisted jeans and all, to sit front row and tell you how proud he is to be your father. It doesn't matter what you actually got; there's a hurt in you that moves him. It strains his bones like the precursor to a storm he can't ignore. Feelings fuel action as Sid's voice, deadpan and certain, looks for a foothold in your insecurities to disentangle them from the rest of you with unconditional love.
You are your best self when someone cares, and Sid is his best self when he cares for you.
Yet this is only a portion of the story and the man.
Siddharth Lamoureux's first gamble came to him in infancy while he was strapped against the back of his mother. Herself a journalist with something to prove, the stakes for collecting the truth were high for them both in the middle of a war zone. A war survived, Siddharth's father of the same profession made him a veteran of homeless encampments, sleazy motel rooms, and protest sites. He was too old to be a child before he could rightly be considered an adult, and it's only appropriate that vampirism warp his sense of age further. Is he your brother, your father, your friend, or your lover? He doesn't rightly know. The desire to latch on to the broken and the lost as their perpetual steward eclipses this all.
