The two of you

Beatrice was smiling from ear to ear as she stepped away and walked closer to Evie as they both watch the brothers interact stiffly with each other. Not knowing that Gavriel's smile had faded as soon as Beatrice was behind him and could no longer see his face.

"Good to see you back… my little brother." Gideon said back, forcing a smile as well as Beatrice was looking at him with so much gladness. Both her sons were good boys as they were not willing to see their mother sad.

"So… you're the one who dared to kidnap my wife…" Gavriel whispered lowly to his brother in a threatening voice, and Gideon laughed darkly for a moment before faking another smile again. 

"If I say yes, what will you do, huh? My dear little brother?" Gideon taunted back in retaliation and Gavriel had to take a deep breath in order to not elbow him in the stomach right there and then. His mother would get a shock if the brothers suddenly got into a fistfight.
