“But I can’t tell you apart!” She chuckled, her eyes moving between us again. She was clearly trying to figure out who was who. If we talked long enough our speech patterns might give us away eventually, but in that moment, she was clearly unable to differentiate between us.
“That’s the point!” Jackson replied. “It’s an old trick we used to pull when we were younger, we thought you would be amused by it.”
“I am,” she said. “Gosh, I guess I forgot how hard it is to tell you guys apart.”
“Take a guess, and then we’ll tell you who’s who,” I said.
She locked eyes with me for a second, thinking long and hard.
“Don’t worry if you get it wrong,” I added. “We won’t be offended.”
“I think you’re Nathan…”
“Wow!” I exclaimed, surprised that she got it right so fast. “How could you tell?”
“Your voice is just slightly softer, less gruff than your brothers,” she replied. “And something in your eyes… I can’t really explain it, I just had a feeling.”
“You know me well.” I smiled.
“My turn,” Jackson said.
“Hmmm well, you sound a lot like Jackson to me, but I could be wrong. You and Aiden both have more boldness in the way you speak, but my guess is still Jackson.”
Jackson grinned like an idiot at that, sweeping Harper into his arms and giving her a hug. “Lucky guess,” he teased.
“I guess that just leaves me, and I’m probably pretty easy to guess now.” Aiden winked. He grabbed her suitcase as I grabbed her duffle bag. “Ready to hit the road?”
“Yes! I’m so excited to see more of Paris. When I first arrived, I just passed through and basically saw the airport and the metro, so I can’t wait to see more!”
“We’re excited to see you too,” Jackson teased.
She punched him playfully in the arm. “I’m happy to see you guys too, of course. That should go without saying.”
We walked toward the exit of the station where we had a car waiting for us.
“How did Kat take you leaving early?” I asked. “Especially since you were leaving to spend more time with us.”
“She was fine, actually. She was glad I didn’t leave right after Christmas since she did want to spend a little more time with me, but she told me to have fun when I left. Jackson was right, she is a lot less freaked out by the four of us than I thought she would be, as long as we keep it casual. In her words, ‘I’ve had threesomes and foursomes before, it’s no big deal…”
All three of us said, “eww” at the same time.
“She’s our sister, I’d really rather not think of her like that,” Jackson said.
Harper laughed. “Sorry, I wasn’t thinking, but yes, she’s cool with us, as long as we keep things casual and don’t let feelings cause any problems between any of us.”
We were all silent for a second.
Feelings. That was a lot more complicated than just casual sex, but after spending a few days with my brothers, I knew that we all had developed feelings for Harper. We had all agreed to not let it cause any rifts between us, of course, but I still feared what it might mean for Jackson and Aiden considering their already rocky history.
I cleared my throat as we stepped out of the station. “The car is right over here.”
Harper’s eyes lit up the moment we were outside. She froze in place and took in the architecture and the views around us. “I can’t believe I’m here.”
“We plan to show you all the sights,” I said.
“I can’t wait.”
She continued looking all around her as we loaded her things into the car and climbed inside.
