Let's move on to the other parts of the store. Zach had a lot to show Souichiro and a lot to go over. He seemed like a fast learner though and Zach didn't think he'd have any problems with him.<br/><br/>Zach was looking forward to getting to know Souichiro as well. The man seemed nice and it would make his family happy. Jeff had been worried that Zach would be less open to making friends. He'd basically been adopted into a small close group of friends. Anna had gotten to talking with him over a photo of her dog and they'd click. She introduced him to here friends and they all got along. They didn't know the whole story, but they knew Zach was gay and that his last relationship had been bad.<br/><br/>Jeff liked that Zach had people to hang out and talk with, but he wanted Zach to take the first step. Whenever Zach talked to his brother he always asked if he'd initiated any conversations or if he'd met anyone who seemed nice. Zach admitted he did close himself off a little, but he was getting better at it.
