Chapter 72

"How recently did you reconnect with your brother?" I asked, watching him closely. His body tensed up as his face grew apprehensive to answer me.

"Tanner?" I pushed.

"About a month ago," He responded with a visible wince. I didn't respond, rather just looked away to try and mask the hurt I knew was showing on my face. He didn't even think to introduce us?

"Baby, it was when I was trying to help Scar out with his fucked up situation. I was really preoccupied with keeping Evan and everyone else safe that introducing you two wasn't really the first thing on my mind," he explained, desperately try to diffuse the situation.

I just nodded, still avoiding eye contact. It's not that I didn't understand where he was coming from, because I did - really. When he finally explained to me everything he'd been keeping a secret, I understood why he was being secretive in the first place, but he never mentioned anything about a brother.
