“Piper?” Julian was waiting for my question.

“Okay.” I prepared myself with a deep inhale. Then I asked, “Why did you and Prince Nicholas never

seem to get along?”

Julian’s smile didn’t as much as twitch, yet I still felt a tension seep into the room. Maybe it was my

fault. I knew I was asking a loaded question, and with it hanging now in the air, I felt the true weight of

I very nearly took it back. I asked too much, got too personal. I should take it back.

Or he could just lie. I wanted him to, if that meant this terrible moment would end.

He looked at me, and then he said, “Nicholas stole my first love. Her name was Bridget.”

be able to steal a woman away from you.”

“You are very sweet,” Julian, said, smiling at her. He placed his elbow on the table and then his chin in

I sighed. “You know that’s not what I meant.”

“Do I? Veronica thought it important enough to ask that question first.”

Just like that, his laugh turned bitter. “Don’t ask me questions you don’t actually want the answers to,

Piper.”

1 want to know, Julian. You and Nicholas have been rivals for so long. I had no idea back in school that

the two of you were brothers. Rivalries are typical between siblings, but nothing like this hatred you

to harbor for each other.”

“Some things just aren’t meant to be sunshine and sparkles,” he said.

“I just want to understand.”

“You’re kicking a homet’s nest.” He ran a hand through his hair. Yet even as he removed his fingers, it
