Bo: Bo looked up
from his laptop, glaring behind half-moon glasses. Stocks in neon green rose
and fell over a black background on his screen, but his only focus was the
ghoul in front of him.
“Where have you been?”
Brett: Brett’s
face was set in thoughtful lines as he absently walked through the door. There
hadn’t really been a whole lot of time between here and Bronwyn’s house to
digest the conversation he’d had, otherwise he probably would’ve been better
prepared for facing Bo.
Then again…all things considered, maybe it wasn’t the worst
thing. With any luck.

Tristan: He
would’ve wanted to kill him for the look on his mother’s face alone.
Two weeks after Luke’s visit with the private investigator,
Tristan found himself sitting on a hotel balcony staring off at the horizon.
The view was incredible but he wasn’t really taking it in. All he could
see–all he’d been able to see for days–was the look on his mother’s face when
he’d told her about the results of Dakota’s investigation.
The DNA test confirmed it: Gideon Clare Boone was his
biological father, the man who had impregnated Megan Seger in 1981 and left her
to raise a child on her own.
A child that would turn out to be, to Tristan’s devastation
and Meg’s bewilderment, a fucking merman.
And now here he was. Sitting in a hotel in Playa del Carmen,
Mexico trying to work up the nerve to go see the man while trying desperately
not to hurl.
