I turned around to find a man who was around six foot three with black hair; walk out of what seemed to be a gaming room. He was wearing a black button down shirt that was rolled up at the sleeves, along with black suit pants. His bright blue eyes seemed to glimmer as he smiled. I watched as three other boys followed behind him who looked like younger versions of William. I could tell that two of them were the twins that were my age, Jake and Cody. I recognized Ashton since he was wearing a tailored gray suit since he was already working with his uncle. I drew my attention back to the mystery man after I nodded in acknowledgment of my new brothers.

"I wasn't finished earlier. You clearly lacked any knowledge in culture and how to incorporate it in to a design. Thankfully William made up for your clearly obvious mistake or else this house would feel lonely and hollow. As an architect, you should have been trained to not do that." I stated as I watched the smile drop from the man's face.

Behind me Everyone started laughing. I continued to hold eye contact with the man as he looked up at everyone making them stifle their laughs.

"I'm an engineer." he replied through clenched teeth. "Who are you to be judging my work?"

"Hannah Marie. I will have my PHD in engineering in May. So I have every right to judge your work. No hard feelings on my opinion on the house. It is an issue that not many can catch unless they know what they are looking for. And you are?" I asked sticking my hand out to him. I had to wait a few long seconds for him to respond to my gesture.

"Ah yes. I've heard about you. I will take it as a compliment then. I am Leo Ward. Nice to meet you." he said as a giant smile graced his beautiful face. Oh my god that should be illegal.

"You too." I said as I turned to my mother. "I will be back shortly. I need to change."

"I will show you your room." Jesse said looping my arm in hers and dragging me up the stairs. I was thankful to be away from the crowd down stairs.

"I have never seen someone speak to my brother, besides my father of course, like you did." she squealed as we walked down the hallway.
