It is not until Monday that he finds another message in the crossword mentioning his hook up. Not really planning on it, Luke hooks up with a guy at the bar and takes him home. After calling the paper and compiling a list of possible suspects, Luke decides to check the two places he frequents in town Diggits, the coffee shop, and Chumley’s, a gay bar, to see if it may be someone he has met there. He has no clue who might be sending these and starts searching for answers. He is both a little concerned but also very intrigued. This time he goes directly to the crossword puzzle and finds another message hidden in the answers for him. The next morning, he finds another paper waiting at his door. What he finds is a hidden message seemingly directed at him. Luke had noticed something while completing the puzzle and goes back to look it over. He comes across the crossword puzzle in the entertainment section and solves it before moving on to his work for the day. Once he determines that it is not his neighbor’s, he decides to enjoy reading the paper over breakfast. It is the Philadelphia Examiner and he is sure it is not his. One morning he returns from a walk and finds a newspaper leaning against the door of his apartment. He can work from home, live in a place he loves (just far enough away from his family to maintain some privacy) and go hiking everyday with his dog Trevor. Luke Shumaker is a game designer living in State College, Pennsylvania.
And, most puzzling of all, how do you know if love is real?
When Luke decodes them, romance begins, but then they face greater puzzles, like Alex’s interfering sister and what commitment to a man in a wheelchair really takes. His solution? Secret messages for Luke in the crosswords he writes for the local paper. Alex’s options are limited: he’s too shy to approach Luke and his wheelchair won’t let him follow into the woods. The watcher is Alex Shaw, and he too works from home, designing logic and crossword puzzles. Every day he walks his dog in the woods nearby, never suspecting that someone who is completely smitten is watching. Luke Schumaker designs computer games, working from his home.
