Chapter 86 Headlines

• The Grecian sun had kissed their skin to a golden hue, but the seven days of bliss were drawing to a close for Britney and Brandon. Their suitcases stood sentinel in the living room, half-packed reminders that their 2 PM departure was close. The siblings moved about their penthouse, gathering and inspecting every corner to make sure nothing is been forgotten.
• Throughout their stay, their father had become a ghost, vanishing into thin air streets after their initial encounter. While Britney found relief in his absence, Brandon's mind was filled with unfinished business. He wanted justice so badly; he couldn't allow a lying murderer to roam free. His heart hardened – once back in Seattle, he would track down Collins and ensure he returned to where he belonged: behind bars.
• Britney zipped her suitcase with a dramatic sigh. "I can't believe we have to leave already. Can't you get an extension?" She turned to Brandon, her lower lip protruding in an exaggerated pout that belied the genuine disappointment in her eyes.
