though. Jesus, he was fucking sexy. He was about an inch taller than Drew’s six-foot frame. He had a nice body—long, lean muscles, short, dark hair, and a dimple under the left side of his mouth that definitely wasn’t there at the moment.
    They stopped when they reached the trio in the corner. Or he thought there were three people standing there. Drew couldn’t take his eyes off of Justin.
    “Andrew, you remember Landon and Rod.” Shanen was all happiness and sunshine while Justin looked like a fucking storm cloud.
    “Hey, man. How’s it going?” Landon asked. They shook hands and then he shook Rod’s next, when Rod said, “Hi. Good to see you again.”
    “Good to see you guys too.” Jesus. Did his voice just crack again? It was like he was going through puberty for the second time—though in a way, that almost made sense.
    “This is my other brother, Justin,” Shanen continued. “Justin, this is Jacob’s brother, Andrew.”
    “Hi. Nice to meet you,” Drew rushed out first, hoping that Justin got the hint and kept his mouth shut.
    Justin stalled, and Drew really thought the motherfucker was going to rat him out. But then he offered a tight smile. “Hey. You too, An drew .”
    Oh yeah. Justin wanted to kill him. He had a feeling none of them would be forgetting this party any time soon.

CHAPTER THREE
    Justin couldn’t keep himself from looking at Drew—or Andrew. At the club, he’d introduced himself as Drew, but he noticed everyone here called him Andrew. Maybe the Drew was part of his persona when he went looking to jerk guys off in clubs before running away.
    “The food is delicious, Nick. We appreciate you catering for us,” Shanen said.
    “Thank you. It was no problem.” Nick smiled at her, and his partner Bryce grinned at him like Nick created the whole goddamned world with his hands, instead of making tasty finger-foods. He looked at him like he could do anything, like maybe he was everything.
    Landon and Rod looked at each other the same way. It was odd to Justin, not really because he didn’t believe in love, he’d just never experienced it. Even when his parents were together, they didn’t look at each other the way the four men did.
    Nick and Bryce wandered off, followed by Rod and Landon. Shanen was next, making a trip around the room.
    People mingled and ate, some standing, some sitting. The sitting was happening for his dad because as the day went on, it was becoming obvious to Justin that he was getting weaker and weaker.
    Drew stood with his parents, his brother, Shanen, and her mom in one of the corners of the room. He was outside of the circle of people, but every once in a while, someone—mostly his mother—would say something to him and he’d reply.
    He didn’t have a plate in his hand, and his arms were crossed as he leaned against the wall. There was something about the way he stood, about not only the stiffness it looked like he tried to hide, but also the distance he was from his family that made it pretty obvious that Drew felt like an outsider, in a way. Like he wasn’t quite part of the group, or didn’t know how to be.
    Likely, Justin was making that up because it was the way he felt—like an outsider, an interloper in his father’s family—but then, he was pretty sure he was right. Something was different in the way Drew interacted with his family compared to the way Jacob did. Jacob rarely spoke to Drew at all.
    He saw Drew reach up—at first looking like he grabbed for something, maybe a hat—before he settled on running a hand through his blond hair. His hair was styled today, the longer hair on top, spiked.
    Their eyes met. Justin felt the annoyance rise up in him again, but not with the same fervor he felt earlier. He wasn’t sure if he had the right to be frustrated or not. He was annoyed because he spent quite a bit of his time irritated now, but there was something in the way Drew looked at him, in seeing him slightly distanced from his family,
