Most of the people who knew Mozzie would call him reclusive, a loner, a guy who didn’t need anyone and who didn’t have anyone anyway.
But, that was actually far from true. The people in his life might be few and far between, but he was deeply loyal to them, he even cared about them in his own unique Mozziesque way. And, when one of those few people needed him, there was nothing he wouldn’t do to help.
If sometimes he went a little overboard, by say hiring a hit man, you could hardly blame him. He had been orphaned after all and losing anyone else that he cared about was unimaginable.
And that was why, despite having plenty of important things that he could and really should be doing he was instead lying on the floor with a five-month old Theo staring up at a mobile. Because Uncle Mozzie had a really nice ring to it and the kid needed him and so did Mama Suit, obviously. Who chooses a nanny from a resume and a couple of references? Ridiculous.
Mozzie knew a lot of things, memorized an innumerable number of quotes, kept the most arcane bits of information about the most unfathomable things neatly ordered in his head, but the most important thing he knew he learned long ago and far away in Detroit – family has nothing to do with blood or trees or legalities and everything to do with commitment and choice and love.
