Breathe: Book Three (bxb) ✔️

LENNOX HART:

I understand that my impulses get the best of me sometimes. I tend to regret my actions after everything is said and done.

But I do not regret quitting as Elijah Moon's manager.

Whatever dark and twisted entity lives within Elijah, it's clear I can't exorcise it. After he yells at me in front of the world, I choose to raise my white flag and run.

Landon welcomes me with open arms, except he has a devious plan brewing. I see it forming and taking shape when Elijah shows up on Landon's doorstep carrying suitcases full of animosity.

I refuse to bend; I refuse to break.

But when I'm made to play house with the mini Devil, I start to realize there are more ways to break than I initially thought.

ELIJAH LUNA:

There has been a dark cloud over my head since I found out what fame could really do to my family. My brother suffered at the hands of my fans, and I haven't figured out how to forgive myself. I made a vow never to let another person fall victim to the cruel nature of my fame.

I didn't want to push him away, but if I let him any closer than our metaphorical ten-foot distance, they would hurt him. Lennox is far too precious to me and I won't watch the world tear him apart, too.

Then he quits in the middle of a heated argument, and suddenly, it feels like the sun fell out of the sky.

I recluse.

Until I get an angry phone call from my brother.

Now, I'm decorating Christmas trees and playing house with Lennox. Every single one of his words has a bite, and he's made it perfectly clear that he won't forgive me.

But that was said before we both broke apart into a million shards of our past.
