Cash
Two hundred and fifty and the stables. That sounds perfect.
Me
We gotta think of a name for the stables. I want a fancy sign.
Cash
There she is.
Me
You talked to Lachlan already, didn’t you?
I chuckled that was his reaction was the same as my cousin’s.
Cash
Maybe. I’m going to meet my realtor. I’ll call you tonight. I love you.
Me
I love you.
“You’re blushing.”
I looked up, coming face-to-face with my twin. Wyatt leaned against the wall, his arms folded and baseball cap backwards. His expression told me he was annoyed, and that I was about to get a lecture.
“Yeah, and?” I sneered, shoving my phone back into my pocket.
“He’s really moving here?” Wyatt pushed himself off the wall, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
“I take it you stood here and listened?” I began to walk down the hall, Wyatt having no choice but to follow me. “Yes, he’s moving here, so get used to him.”
He groaned, “If he hurts you…”
“He won’t.”
“If he dies…”
“He won’t.”
Wyatt tilted his head back and exhaled. “So I have to get used to him?”
I sighed. “Yes Wyatt, please? I really…really…” I licked my lips. “I love him.”
He stopped, bringing me to stop, too. I turned to look at him. His blue eyes concentrated.
“I haven’t heard you say that in a long time.” He muttered, a crack in his voice when he spoke the last few words. Out of all the people, Wyatt saw everything—and now he could see this part, too. “I’m just trying to protect you.”
I walked to my twin, wrapping my arms around his waist and breathing in his smokey scent. He held me back, his chin resting on the crown of my head.
“I know, and I love you for it. You were there when I needed someone, but Wyatt—”
“You love him?” He interrupted me, arching away slightly to look at me.
I nodded. “Very much so. It’s different with him. It’s like a new beginning. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll never—ever—forget Sylas. I can’t compare them. Sylas was my first…Cash is my future.”
