    About this ebook

    Brian and Lily are on their last night of vacation in Paris. They’ve been beset by some kind of bug all week that bubbles up from Brian’s stomach and converges with his brain and shoots out his mouth. As they dine on some of the best food Paris has to offer, Brian barely takes time out to let food in. Be it vengeance or be it his genuine truth, in this city of lights, could this be the night their love light goes dark?
