One in particular seems to follow him around the property. Why exactly?<br><br>Then Bay learns his trespasser is the tall and handsome Christopher Lavre. Unsettling questions make him what Christopher’s link is to the fireflies at night. Or rather, one lightning bug in particular...

Truth told, he’d planned on being up for hours, working until four or five o’clock in the morning to meet the strict deadlines. Hell, he might just stay up and watch the summer sun rise on the horizon, blooming into a ball of yellow-orange-red flower of needed light.
