“Does Wick keep that storage building unlocked during the day?” I asked.

Tyler leaned back, looking down at me with labored breath. He grinned. “Are you serious?”

“Just check the fucking door, Tyler.”

He tucked his chin and blinked. “Tyler?”

“What the fuck?” another voice said behind him.

Tyler’s carbon copy gripped the back of his coat and yanked him backward, throwing him to the ground.

Zeke stood wide-eyed behind him before holding up his hands. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! They didn’t know! I didn’t tell him! I didn’t tell her!”

I wiped my mouth and straightened my clothes. “What the hell is going on here?”

The Tyler on the ground wasn’t sure what to think, while the one standing was clearly ready for war.

Zeke pointed to the Tyler I’d just mauled. “Ellie, that’s Taylor, Tyler’s twin brother.”

“Oh, fucking hell,” I said. They weren’t just twins, they were reflections. I couldn’t see a single difference. “What … why didn’t you tell me?” I cried.

“Shit. That’s Ellie?” Taylor asked, holding up his hands, palms out. “You didn’t tell me she worked here!”

Tyler pointed at his brother. “You didn’t even get her fucking name before shoving your goddamn tongue down her throat?”

“Are you fucking kidding me right now?” Taylor said, sitting up slowly. “Don’t act like you haven’t done it a thousand times, fuck stick.”

“You know better than that shit, Taylor! We always make sure. What the hell is wrong with you?”

“She…” he said, looking at me. “I asked about Zeke! I asked her about you! She didn’t act like … she didn’t say anything!”

“Did you say my fucking name when you asked her, or did you just ask about your brother? It’s not the first time someone’s been confused.”

Taylor shrugged, sheepish, and Tyler moved toward him.

I held out my hands. “I kissed him!” I blurted out.

Tyler froze.

“I kissed him!” I said again, touching my chest with one hand, the other still held out toward Tyler. “This isn’t his fault!”

Taylor stood up and brushed snow and mud off his coat and pants, red-faced and teeth clenched.

Tyler glared at his brother. “I owe you one, dick.”

“Fine, you owe me one.” He glanced at me. “Nice to meet you, Ellie.”

“That’s it?” Tyler growled.

Taylor’s jaws danced beneath the skin. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”

My shoulders sagged. “I’m sorry, too.”

Taylor disappeared behind the storage building with Zeke not far behind. Tyler rolled back his shoulders and looked down on me with disappointment in his eyes.

“No,” I said, pointing at him. “You don’t get to be jealous. You barely know me.”

“I’m not jealous. That was my brother, Ellie.”
