I love this! Preston didn't have it easy with his family, especially his Dad. However, I am glad to see here that he finally realized that there are more to the world than money. He loves Colorado Springs, he found friends there.

Just one question - was it his Mum he spoke to?

Your great story elicited pity with greedy Preston. He recognizes his failings in social affiliation. Very interesting facet about his life! Will you tell us something about his change in life? Maybe looking out for a mate to build up a family? I would like to read more about these thoughts. You could create a very interesting story about Prestons future.
