They turned around and headed into town. Gabriele led Julia to Callahans and they found a booth near the bar. Ciara was tending again and Gabriele waved. “Hi Ciara.”

“Hi Gabriele.”

“This is my friend Julia from Dresden.”

“Welcome to Emsworth,” Ciara said with a smile.

“She seems nice,” Julia said quietly when Ciara had turned.

“She is.”

Julia grinned crookedly. “My British counterpart?”

Gabriele rolled her eyes.

One of the servers approached and Gabriele ordered fish and chips for both of them. Julia gaped.

“You can’t come to England and not eat fish and chips,” Gabriele explained.

They took turns using the loo where they touched up their makeup. They were thoroughly warmed up and had raging appetites by the time their food arrived.

“So when do I get to meet this mystery brother?” Julia asked as she tossed a fry into her mouth.

Gabriele nodded with her chin. “He’s right over there behind you.”

Julia swiveled around and stared. Callum lifted his fingers in a weak wave as acknowledgement. Julia spun back around.

“Oh my goodness, Gabi. He looks just like Lennon! How can you stand it?”

“I’ve spent enough time with him now that I know he’s not Lennon. He’s not just different in personality, but also in looks if you check closely. After a while, the differences become so pronounced, you stop seeing Lennon and just see Callum.”

Julia stared hard at her friend. “You’ve thought this through.”

“It’s true.”

“When did he arrive?”

“About twenty minutes ago.”

“And you didn’t say anything?”

Gabriele shrugged a shoulder. “I’m getting used to him hovering. I told you he’d show up.”

“The guy’s a stalker?” Julia twisted one of her short, dark pigtails. “That’s creepy, Gabi. Maybe Lennon and Callum are like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Maybe where Lennon was all goodness, Callum is the evil twin.”

Gabriele laughed, but it wasn’t like the same thought hadn’t occurred to her. However, Callum had plenty of chances to act on any evil impulses he may have had and he seemed to be sincerely concerned for her well-being. Even if that concern was misplaced.

It was like he knew they were talking about him. He stood, shoved fists into his pockets and sauntered over. Julia gasped audibly when Callum slid in beside Gabriele.

“This is too weird,” Julia spouted in rapid German. “I don’t see the difference. I feel like I’m seeing a ghost!”

Callum’s brow furrowed. “What’s she saying?”

“He doesn’t understand what you’re saying,” Gabriele said to Julia in German, “thankfully.”

“Good. Then I can tell you that he’s super hot. Lightning strikes twice for you.”

“Well, I’m not interested.”

“Oh.” She batted her eyes at Callum. “Too bad I’m taken.”

“As fun as this is,” Callum said, “any chance of switching to English?” He nudged Gabriele’s leg with his knee. “How about introducing me to your friend?”

Gabriele’s face grew warm. It was just a leg tap, but it felt incredibly friendly, shooting sparks through her body. His closeness was like radiation. Why was she reacting like this? She swallowed hard and forced her expression to remain blank. “This is my friend Julia,” she said in English. “She doesn’t speak English very well, but she understands a lot.
