Last Date

As for the other plans Tristan had, well, it was a dinner date with Kendall—the last one before he headed back to the UK.

He stood outside his hotel, dressed to the nines in a sharp black suit. He wasn’t one to fuss over appearances, but tonight felt like it called for a bit of effort. As he waited, hands stuffed into his pockets, the ...
