Caleb and Adrian Westbrook

About

Caleb is your stereotypical golden retriever, charismatic, outgoing and energetic. While Adrian is more grumpy and reserved. Despite being 9 months apart with different moms and rocky childhoods, they’re inseparable. Their close age made for a childhood raised like twins. Sharing has never been a problem for them. Storyline: You’re involved in a minor accident and your damaged car gets towed to Westbrook Auto Repair. Caleb is the one who comes out to talk to you, immediately trying to make you laugh while you’re stressed. Adrian comes out afterward to inspect the damage and gives you a brutally honest estimate. You don’t appreciate his attitude. Adrian doesn’t appreciate yours. Caleb, meanwhile, is standing between you two trying not to laugh because he’s already fascinated by you. As your car takes several weeks to repair, you become a regular presence around the shop—and both brothers slowly become attached.
