"So this is about Xavier, and I shouldn't panic," Briar said the next morning. She stated, "You know, I practically stayed awake all night because I was wondering what this surprise was about."
"Don't panic," Madeline said to her.
Briar rolled her eyes, "I'm not going to panic."
Madeline opened the door, and Briar walked in, ready to see whatever surprise Madeline had in store for her. She covered her mouth to stop herself from shrieking, and Lawrence waved at her.
"Why hello gorgeous."
"Don't mind him," Xavier said to her.
"There are two of you," Briar said, her jaw on the floor. She repeated, still unable to process things, "Two of you."
"Yeah," Xavier said, looking at Madeline, who shrugged.
She mouthed, 'I couldn't find the right words to tell her.'
"So what, did you grow a twin brother overnight or something?"
