“Nothing would have happened anyway,” I jumped in before they broke into full-on juvenile bickering. “Xander’s gay.”
“What?”Phina’s eyes bulged. “He likes men? What the hell is going on with my instincts?”
“You’re upset your half-brotherdidn’thave a crush on you?” Barrett asked.
“Shut. Up,” Phina growled throughbared teeth.
Barrett looked back at Hale. “What do you think of all this?”
Hale, the ever-patient, pragmatic one, drew in a slow breath. “I think it is what it is. He’s our brother. We should probably get to know him.”
I smiled, proud of how accepting my husband was. “I like that idea.”
“Me too,” Phina said.
“You already know him well enough,” Barret joked, and she shoved him.
I looked at Hale, and my grin widened. Our eccentric, little, dysfunctional family grew by two in only one day. Color me surprised! I had foolishly assumed this was the part of the story that got boring. But, apparently, we Davenports had a whole world of fresh drama to look forward to. And I was here for it…
As I’m sure you will be too.
THE END
…for now.
