The Magic's in the Music (Magic Series book 5)
“It was ten a.m. and he’d already been drinking for an hour. The bar was a dark and seedy joint called ‘Pat’s Place’ down the street from his flop. There were two other denizens on the same mission as Lan.
He could just leave for parts unknown and get past all this crap once and for all.

He told himself it was because she’d get him in the end anyway and this way he was the one in charge, forcing her hand. But maybe he was a coward all the way around. Wouldn’t take his own life.MoreLess
