It turns out that his brother Adam had encouraged Leo to attend his weekly men's group run by New Age-type goofball Keith whose wife is Sybil.
The friendship is soon to become more, as Brendan appears unexpectedly late one night at Leo's door and sleeps with him; after which they become something of a couple, to the consternation of one man in their men's group, though it encourages another, Terry, to explore his sexuality.
