for a woman a second time. No. He’d learnt his lesson long ago, and didn’t need a reminder of the pain a broken heart and betrayal caused. Colin wouldn’t put himself in such a situation ever again.
    “Well ?” Gérard gestured with his hands.
    He cursed under his breath. “Well, what?” Colin hadn’t been in the mood to mingle with the rest of the musicians during their break, so he’d opted for hiding out in one of Gérard’s rooms. It’d helped him so much. Not. He wished for solitude, he got company instead.
    Gérard smirked. “How are rehearsals going?”
    He considered his response for a moment. “Great. All is going according to plan, I guess.”
    “You guess? Do you want me to tell you what I think ?” Gérard asked.
    “No.” Colin tapped his fingers on his leg, turning his head in the direction of a sound at the door.
    “Good, I’ll tell you anyway. I—”
    “Hello, my favorite brother.” Julianne stood at the door, a smile on her face.
    Colin grinned. “As I recall I’m the only brother you have.”
    Gérard looked up, fixing his gaze on Julianne.
    Colin cleared his throat. “Weren’t you going to tell me something, Gérard?” He eyed his sister then his friend, finding it interesting both grew too quiet for his liking. Those two never shut up. What the hell?
    “Um, right—”
    “Don’t you listen to a word he says.” Julianne walked toward Colin with open arms.
    He rose from his seat and embraced his little sister in a hug. It’d been a while since he’d last seen her. Julianne’s unexpected visit took him by surprise.
    “Why shouldn’t he listen to me?” Gérard asked , breaking their little family reunion.
    Julianne stepped back to face Gérard. “Why? You can’t be trusted, Gérard Laurent.”
    “ That’s a lie and you know it.” Gérard stood, narrowing his eyes at Julianne.
    “Why don’t you two kiss and make up?” Logan strode in the room.
    Christ. What was this? A freaking gathering of sorts? Colin blinked as Logan’s words dawned on him. “You better stay away from my sister.” He stared at Gérard.
    “ You can’t trust someone who lies.” Julianne raised her brow. An air of superiority surrounded her.
    Gérard took a step forward. “Omitting truths isn’t lying.”
    “ If omitting truths isn’t lying, I wonder what your definition of lie is,” Logan said.
    “ Who lied to whom?” Colin looked at them one by one.
    “What the hell are you both doing in my house anyway?” Gérard looked from Julianne to Logan and back. “Last time I checked you weren’t musicians, and no one else but them are allowed in and out of my house during the day. Do I need to fire my butler for letting you in?”
    “Stop trying to be funny, Gérard. You suck at it,” Julianne said.
    “What the fuck is going on?” Colin asked.
    “Gérard, call him brother already, won’t you? You’ll make us all a favor.” Logan took a seat, a look of annoyance on his face.
    “Shut up, Logan,” Gérard said.
    “Yes, shut it, Logan,” Julianne said.
    Everyone went quiet for a moment, thank goodness. It’d gone from peaceful to chaotic in mere minutes. Colin preferred not to learn whatever his sister and Gérard were up to. He wasn’t ready to deal with anything close to what he imagined it’d be.
    “Tell me, Colin, who is this girl I have to give my thanks to for getting you out of your cave?” Julianne broke the silence.
    “She’s a fantastic woman, if you ask me,” Logan said.
    Colin gave Logan a side glance. “Ariel,” he said.
    “Ooh, what a pretty name. I must meet her.” Enthusiasm lit up Julianne’s face.
    “Colin, are you here?” Ariel poked her head in the room.
    “Gorgeous, you’re just in time.” Colin went to the door, extending a hand, inviting her in.
    “ Gorgeous?” Logan quirked his brow.
    Yes. Logan better get it straight in his head his endearment for her. It wasn’t news Ariel shared her bed with him. Colin grasped her hand, pulling her
