Davy Steward’s Wedding Blues

Chapter 7

They wouldn’t let me go with her.

I sat down hard in one of the chairs. I needed to call Lacey and let her know where we were. I didn’t know if she would want to come here. She was seven months pregnant, but she at least should know.

“Davy, what’s wrong?”

I rarely called Lacey so of course something was wrong since I was making a call to her tonight at nearly eight o’clock in the evening. Maybe I needed to work on my relationship with my future sister-in-law where I only reached out to her in emergencies.

It was hard for me to be social. I was the quiet one. The introvert. I relied on numbers and facts. I was logical. That is why it was so difficult for me to process what Georgie could do with her gift.

“Caz took a spill out of the bathtub. We’re at the emergency room.”

I heard her cluck her tongue against the roof of her mouth. “Not that I’m graceful but she was always way worse than me. Is she, all right?”

“No,” I replied. “Compound fracture of the femur. She banged her ankle against the tub. It’s black and blue. I thought it might be broken but…”

“Wait, what?”

“She’s in bad shape, Lacey. She was screaming when they moved her to the gurney,” I got choked up and couldn’t speak for a moment. I ran my hand across my jaw trying to collect myself. “I couldn’t do anything to help her.”

“Brodie and I will be right there, Davy.”

“Thanks.”

Then I did what I always did when I needed someone. I called my twin. He answered on the first ring, like always. I rose from the seat I was sitting in and walked to the window where no one would see the tears in my eyes.

“She’s hurt, Ewan. It crushed me that I couldn’t do anything for her to ease her pain.”

“I know, Davy. She’ll be all right though,” he promised me.

I wish he was here because I needed him right now but that was selfish. I had pushed Greer to make him leave with Leo. I thought it was the right thing for him at the time, but it was like losing a piece of myself when Ewan left Severe.

As twins, we were inseparable. He knew things about me without me saying anything as I did him. It’s cliché, I know but true. I had missed him. At times, I think more than he had missed me. I hadn’t seen him since Brodie’s shooting, nearly six months. It was too long to go without seeing my brother.

The move was good for him though. Ewan had grown as a man and a person. He was more settled than he had been in years. With Tasha, I didn’t think he guessed about whether he should be with her like he did with Greer. He wasn’t uncertain of his sexuality anymore. He was bi-sexual. He could love both men and women and we were all okay with that.
