The Broken Pieces novel Chapter 47

I didn't have a problem driving alone but I figured that talking about what happened with Cameron without anyone there would be good closure for myself.

"That's all," Tristan announced as he grabbed the white rag off of the hood of the truck and wiped his head with it.
