Is there are break between Gen 34:18 and 19?

At the beginning of 19 we find:

וְלֹֽא־אֵחַ֤ר הַנַּ֙עַר֙ לַעֲשֹׂ֣ות הַדָּבָ֔ר

Welo’-ekhar hanna‘ar la‘asowt haddavar

Does the class as an X-qatal, Hemerdinger (1999:22), and if so does this
signify a break?

Berlin has a break there, as shown by the change in characters (participants).
