“Go show Scout,” I tell Rueben. “He’s on the landing.”
He nods and heads out there, not rushing for once.
I doubt he’ll stop messing around on his phone until he knows as much as there is to know about Sapphire Faris, our one true mate.
Chapter sixty-three
Scout
I stand up as Rueben gets to the landing, ready to tell him not to disturb our mate. He moves toward me, instead of toward the spare bedroom door, which throws me off completely.
“Wait until you see this!” he exclaims, shaking his head as he hands me his phone.
There’s a photo on the page that looks like it’s from high school … Scarlett’s high school.
“Twins!” he blurts as I look back up at him. “Can you believe it?”
“Actually, I think I can,” I admit, seeing something of the woman we’ve been hanging out with in the image of the quiet girl standing behind her extroverted twin. “She hasn’t seemed very much like Scarlett since she’s been around us these last few days, and I’ve never had the kind of feelings I’ve been having for her for Scarlett.”
It makes a little too much sense.
“Her name is Sapphire. Isn’t that cool? Blue’s always been my favorite color.”
“It’s pretty,” I admit. “Why is she here, though?”
Rueben rolls his eyes. “Twin swap, what else? Do you really see Scarlett coming here to make good on that bet? She would have done anything to get out of that. I guess in this case that meant sweet talking her twin into doing this for her.”
He’s probably right. I didn’t expect Scarlett to show up, much less actually do any cleaning over here. She took all of us by surprise when she showed up.
Except it seems now that maybe she didn’t.
Sapphire did.
Damn. If she’s really not Scarlett, then I feel even more awful for upsetting her.
I frown at Rueben. “This is crazy. We don’t know that this woman isn’t Scarlett. We can talk to her when she’s awake, but we shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions over a photo you found online …Wait. What do you think you’re doing?”
He opens the spare room door and slips inside before I can stop him.
So much for guarding our mate.
I follow him quickly, freezing on the spot when I see he’s already at her side and pushing back the blankets Bishop gave her.
What the hell?
“Get. Out. Of. Here.” I tell him.
He looks up at me and shakes his head slowly. “I can prove she’s Sapphire.”
I move closer, ready to grab him by the arms and drag him out of the room like a nightclub bouncer.
He pushes up the side of her shirt and suddenly I’m staring at her hip.
Holy hell, those jeans are low cut.
Her perfume has lightened since it first came out for Gus, but it’s still sweet and potent enough to make me wish she was awake and ready to be claimed.
We’re a damn long way away from that at this point, especially if she’s Scarlett’s twin.
