Chapter Six

BERNIES voice mixing with crisp British tones echoed in his

ears. Tomas registered what they said, and he gaped. He walked over to Bernie, who stood a little away from the door. “Triplets. Hell, I didnt even know you had family,” Tomas hissed.

Hurt filled him. How much could Bernie trust him if hed kept such a secret? Bernie must have heard something in his tone. He turned to Tomas and cupped his cheek.

“I didnt tell anyone. Its complicated.”

“I can come back another time,” Wilbur offered in that British accent.

Tomas looked at him. It was eerie, how he looked like Bernie. Wilbur studied Tomas with that same cynical look. Tomas amended his thought. They might look alike, but in Wilbur, there was more of an edge. One that made Tomas bristle. Tomas put his hand on Bernies waist.

“You should.”

“No, Wilbur. Come in.” Bernie elbowed Tomas in the side.

“Its Bur, now. And I will.” Wilbur smirked. The name niggled something in Tomass memory. Bur bent and picked up a battered guitar case. He sauntered in like he owned the place. Wilbur paused next to Tomas and looked up at him from under lowered lashes. The look coming from him didnt look playful or innocent like Bernies. Burs look was pure devilment and challenge.

“Do you all practice that look?” Tomas demanded, looking at Bernie. “No. We have it in common. Hes the mischief-maker of us. Cut it out, mid-bro.” Bernie slapped Bur on the back of the head.

Bur raised startled pale green eyes. “Havent heard that in a lot of years.” His eyes went slightly glassy, and emotion filled them. In that moment, to Tomas, Bur looked exactly like the Bernie he knew.

Tomas glanced between the two of them. “Ill give you some time,” he said. “You take a moment,” Bur said. “Bernie needs you. Ill be waiting in the living room.”

Bur went down the hall, unerringly finding the living room. Tomas frowned after him, then turned back to Bernie. Bernie looked lost. Tomas took his hand and pulled him into the kitchen. He sat him on a stool and got a bottle of water. Opening it, he held it to his lips, and Bernie drank shakily. Tomas put down the bottle and rubbed his back. Bernie leaned on him, sighing.

“I can send him away.”

“No. I want to see him. Havent seen him in almost nine years,” Bernie whispered.

Tomas thought about the number and Bernies age. “Since you were fifteen.”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

Bernie looked miserable. “Its complicated.”

“What about your other brother? You dont talk about him, either.”

“Dillard. Havent seen him since we were sixteen,” Bernie said softly.

Tomas couldnt even imagine it. “What about your parents?” He figured if Bernie had brothers he didnt know about, there might be parents too.

“Dont wanna talk about them.” Bernies face was shuttered.

“Bernie,” Tomas said in warning.

“Not yet, Tomas. Not now. I need to talk to Wilbur… Bur,” Bernie said.

“Ill get rid of him. You dont have to deal with whatever drama hes bringing.”

“I want to see my brother. I love him, no matter what.
