Chapter 25 Beginnings And Endings

• The first was with his lover—well, soon-to-be ex-lover—in Lavender Hills, a private estate on the edge of Pelican Surf.
• Benji drove into the underground parking of a modern, high-tech luxury apartment complex and parked in their usual spot. Arno offered to escort Austin upstairs, but he politely refused. Breakups were hard enough without an audience.
