I have been working on this novel idea for a couple of years now, on and off. The action takes place first in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, then moves south to South America, back North then East to Paris, France. Here is a selection of chapters so far completed:

West - Bus Home
     The protagonist meets Angelisa for the first time.

North - Restaurant
     He returns from South America hoping to find her again and pick up where they left off.

East - Crash
     While in Paris his reality becomes strangely twisted as he struggles to understand the opportunity he has missed.
