   Summary

   “Fancy seeing you here,” Ben said. His smirk said it was anything but – he, at least, had known about their living arrangements for the year.

   Bea counted to five again. “It’s one in the afternoon.”

   “Not my time,” Ben said, and he slurped his beer loudly. Even three floors down she could hear the rattle of the beer in the can through his straw.

   “Yes, true,” Bea said. She put a hand on her hip. “So, they let you back into the country, hm?”

   “Low blow,” Ben said cheerfully. “A lazy shot. But yes, I am here, yet again. You may lavish me with your post-summer tidings.”

   “I’m going to key your fucking car.”

   “I’ve missed you, too, Bea.”
