Arkanis Pond was an attractive place to a very specific brand of people, and Armitage Hux was not one of those people. Spending his summers with his father at their house on the lake had become significantly more unbearable since his mother died just a few years earlier. Everything reminded him of her and of the way things used to be, and simply being there hurt him to no end. Brendol needed him there, though, so as to prove to his political friends (and enemies) that he was a well-rounded man and father. But Armitage’s patience with the whole thing, with Arkanis Pond and all of its inhabitants was wearing thin. That much is true, until the family across the lake, the Solos, offers him what he’s been missing all these years; family, friendship, and the possible rekindling of a brief romance.
