At 3.30am, the limo pulls in front of the motel I've been staying at for the last week. I look around the building and see a homeless guy sleeping under the stairs in a box. Kids hide in the dark alley as packages and money exchange hands.

A black limo pulls over and talks to the kids. A guy points at Landon and me.

Landon wraps his arms around me. "Stop looking. They might do something if you're not careful."

I roll my eyes. "It's not the first time I've seen them."

He whispers in my ear. "It's different now that you're with me. My limo makes everything different."

Landon and I walk into my motel room and pack my clothes. He takes the suitcase to the limo.

I walk to the reception desk, and the old guy behind the desk looks at me. "Hello, love. What can I do for you today?" He smiles, and I can see gaps where teeth used to be.

Why do I have to deal with this creepy guy alone?

I smile. "I would like to return the keys." I pull the key out of my pocket and place it on the table.

He takes the key from me and puts it back on the shelf. "I hope to see you soon, love."

Unlikely.

I hurry out of the office.

Landon is leaning against a wall, his arms propped on the wall. He is talking to a girl in a short skirt and a tight top. She's wearing heaps of makeup.

The girl looks at me.

She runs her hands all over Landon as she sees me approach them. "When you get sick of that girl. Call me, and I'll show you a good time, sugar." She kisses him, and he returns it.

I cough. "Sorry to disturb the make-out session." I poke him with my index finger. "If that happens again, I'll show you where you can shove everything. Do you understand me?"

His mouth hangs open. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

"Yeah, the arse that broke my heart at the beginning of the year and the one that needs my help this year." I elbow him on the way to the limo.

Before I climb into the limo, I see him slip a couple of bills to her. I slide in and sit next to the window. I look outside as Landon climbs in.

He closes the door and puts his seatbelt on.

The limo pulls away from the motel and drives towards the Hollywood Hills. I put on earphones and looked out the window as the car drove us to his place in The Hills. Before I knew it, the limo stopped in front of an iron gate with security.

When did he get them? They weren't here when he kicked me out in January.

The security opens the gate after they speak with Landon. The limo drives up the path and stops in front of a beautiful brick three-story mansion. The garden I planted last year is still going strong.

At least someone takes care of those.

I pull the earphones out of my ears. "I'm glad someone has taken care of the garden."

Landon shrugs. "I paid the gardener to rip them out. But he liked the garden and decided to take care of it for you. He thought you would come back one day."

I won't be staying long.

I step out of the car and look at the gold-plated statue of a naked woman. She has water pouring out of her mouth and nipples.

He loves that fountain.

The double doors to the mansion open, and a little girl runs to Landon. "Uncle Landon." She looks at me. "Aunt Kay?"
