Summary
“So we’re here,” Lando points to the label on the map reading ‘Kawakawa bay’, “and we want to be…. where?” he trails off looking over at Carlos who was staring intently at the map.
“I think the lady said It was one bay over?”
Lando drops his head on the table. “Mate,” he exhales, forehead pressed to the wood “I cannot believe we are travelling to some random-as-fuck beach campsite because the lady in the supermarket line recommended it”
“She was a nice lady, Lando” Carlos chides, “old people know things.”
“Of course we’re trusting beach advice from an ancient stranger in the supermarket queue. That’s totally normal.”Or, the one where best friends Carlos and Lando travel to an isolated beach in New Zealand on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to cure Carlos’s quarter life crisis and maybe even find a bit of love along the way.

Summary
Benny Goodman once wrote a song, ‘Where Or When’. It goes as follows;
“It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then, But I can’t remember where, or when
The cloths you are wearing, are the cloths you wore
The smile you are smiling, you were smiling then
But I can’t remember where, Or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems
That we’ve met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows
Where or When”And truly, nothing could summarize this story better.

Summary
Never in all his days has he thought himself less strong of stomach than the ladies of his court, but never in all his days has he watched a strong, graceful creature be taunted unto its end. The men of Spain who spoke a small amount of his native tongue had tried assuring him that this ‘spectacle’ was indeed a ritual of bull worship, something to celebrate the ferocity of nature and man’s dominion over it. Lando only feels dominion over his nausea as he swallows down something detestable. It is snuffed out with swift intent, however, when he looks up again to see the Matador looking straight at him.
The Matador is the most exceptional man Lando has seen to date, by a margin larger than one end of his vast country estate to the other. He struts, cocksure and elegant with his fine clothes and finer features, large doe eyes locked on him.
