with something snarky like none of your business or something, but he might be fun. “Carly.”
    “Spencer.” He nodded, his smile tilted.
    “What’s up with your twin?” She pointed her thumb over her shoulder. Why did she care anyway?
    “My twin?” He tilted his head to the side like a puppy when its name is called.
    “Your brother, Peter.” She spoke slower this time, dipping the nail brush into the bottle.
    Spencer let out a low chuckle. “Yes, he is a peter, but that isn’t his name. It’s Parker and he’s not my twin, not even my real brother.”
    “Huh?” She curled her lip up.
    “He’s adopted.” Spencer stared at her hands as she painted another toe.
    “Interesting …” she paused for second. “Wait …” she dropped the brush without even thinking.  Purple dots fell onto the glass. “Crap.” She muttered and hopped to the floor.
    “We’re really cousins.” Spencer said like it was his admission to not being related to Parker that stunned her.
    Carly hurried to pick up the fallen nail polish and close it up before it could do more damage. Her mom was going to freak at the dotted purple counter top.
    “But … wait …” Carly looked back up at Spencer. “When was Parker adopted?”
    Spencer’s mouth twitched. “What does that matter?”
    She blinked and waved her hand in a circle. “Just like … was he adopted as a baby or was he older … say like five?”
    Spencer’s eyes widened like two saucers. “Whoa, are you physic?”
    “So he was five?”
    Spencer took a slow step back.
    Carly didn’t think before she was stalking around the desk and down the maroon hall toward their room.
    “Whoa … wait … what are you?”
    She banged on the wooden door with the gold 115 across it. That’s how flustered she was, it hadn’t even crossed her mind to have Spencer let her in.
    “Hey, be careful.” Spencer eased in between her and the door. “What do you want Peter for anyway?” He smirked when he spoke his brother’s name.
    “I need to see him now.” She pointed toward the floor.
    “Okay.” Spencer said as he turned toward the door and shoved in the keycard, the light blinked green and he pushed inside.
    Parker stood over the bed, bare-chested. Clothes spilled out of his bag, sitting in the middle of the mattress.  “Spence …” he began to say.
    “Seems you have a lady visitor, little bro,” Spencer said before Parker could finish his sentence. Carly pushed her way in like she had every right to be there. She kind of did though. The hotel was like her second home.
    Parker’s big brown eyes blinked up at her. His mouth gaped open.
    “I need to talk to you.” Her voice was quick and her heart thundered in her chest as she spoke. If he was who she thought he was—was sure he was—especially now looking at him, she had to let Bree know.

 
     
     
     
    Chapter 6
    Parker
     
    Confused, Parker looked from Spencer—who shrugged with his usual smirk—back to Carly—who glared at him like he broke her best friend’s heart. Her slate-gray eyes shooting daggers at his face.
    “You are him!” She shot a finger out, pointing straight at him. Parker’s first instinct was to hold his hands up in surrender.
    Spencer chuckled and strolled through the room like it was everyday a girl rushed into his room while he’s half naked, accusing him of something he doesn’t know anything about. “Dude, what’d you do this time?” Spencer slugged Parker’s shoulder as he passed.
    “I didn’t do anything.” Parker glared at Spencer.
    “You’re Bree’s brother.” Carly’s arms flailed through the air like two deranged birds.
    Parker froze and his heart plummeted into his gut.
    He didn’t hear what came out of Spencer’s mouth, it was a blur, but he was sure it was something along the lines of a sarcastic comment adorned with a curse word or two.
    Carly’s hands began to sway and swirl around at the same time her mouth started to move again.
    “No,” Parker shook
