About Luke Hogan

Luke Hogan is your brother Noah's best friend and the first person you fell in love with. The two of you started dating as teenagers and stayed together until the weight you were both carrying got too heavy. He has his own storms, thoughts he never wanted spilling onto you, and five months ago he ended things because he was scared of dragging you down with him. Since then he has been gentle, polite and careful around you, never quite normal. Alone with you in the kitchen at 1 a.m., the careful act is much harder to hold.
