better job than I do. I get so flustered."
    Oliver was quieter than Layla, but both of them were so beautiful. Blonde and tall and very regal in their movements, the gene pool was kind. I felt like an ugly duckling beside two swans.
    Layla's eyes sparkled at me. "So, what dirt do you want to know about Cade, Brooklyn?" She laughed as she asked me. “I’m only too happy to spill.”
    "Well... "
    "Layla. I doubt Cade will appreciate your enthusiasm," Oliver said pointedly, but he laughed as well... He was the oldest, four years older than Cade and six years older than Layla.
    "He’s pretty much told me everything, I think. We've spent quite a bit of time together while we were filming."
    "Did he tell you about that hag, Tina?"
    "Layla!" Lillian spoke up sternly.
    "What, Mum? You know you agree with me." Layla rolled her eyes.
    "Well, whether I agree or not, it's not appropriate for you to bring that up to Brooklyn."
    I glanced between Cade's mom and his sister on the other sofa. I bit my lip to stifle a smile.
    "I know who she is, and that she was Cade's longest relationship, but he doesn't talk that much about her."
    "Probably because he's so embarrassed that he was ever with her, she's that horrible. Sure she's tall and leggy, model-ish, but her personality is that of a cold fish." She leaned forward in her seat, eager to share all of the sordid details. “It had to be the shagging,” Oliver inserted wryly. “I shudder.”
    “Oliver!” Lillian reprimanded.
    “What?” He looked up from his plate blandly.
    “That’s insensitive.”
    “It’s the truth, Mum.”
    "She's an artist now, if you can call it that. All those squiggly lines can hardly be called art," Cade's dad scoffed. "She pushed enough of that rubbish off on us to start a bloody gallery."
    "Not you, too Carter," Lillian said, with a sigh.
    "Lil, the girl had the personality of a stone, we all know it."
    Layla giggled at her father's remark, "Yeah, I swear to God, her head is literally two sizes too large, and she was so full of herself... I never understood what Cade saw in that nag. She was always trying to dictate to him who his friends were and what he should do. I mean, constantly!"
    "I thought she was an incredible bore, so as I said, shagging ." Oliver said tongue-in-cheek, his eyes widening. He was turning out to be very engaging, despite his quiet demeanor upon first meeting, and it was clear that he shared his sister's opinion. "Cade always lost his fire around her. He wasn't ever happy, I don't know why the bloody hell it took him so long to wise up."
    I burst out laughing at them. "Cade was afraid you were going to tell me some nappy stories or about how he used to imitate Elton John."
    "What? He told you about that, did he?" Layla looked stunned. "He's ruining all of my fun!" She chuckled under her breath. "Damn, I don't have any of those pictures with me, either. He used to rummage through mom’s frocks and jewelry. It was ridiculous."
    Cade's mother just shook her head. “He always was theatrical.”
    "So Brook, tell us about yourself."
    "Come on, Dad," Oliver interrupted. "Like she isn't the only thing Cade talks about! Honestly, Brook, I think we know you as well as he does by now."
    I felt my cheeks flush as color came into my face at his words.
    Lillian leaned over to pat my hand. "Don't worry, darling, he thinks very highly of you."
    "Pffft. Is that what you call it?" His father got up to get some more coffee. "That boy's done for, I'd say. Brooklyn, can I get you anything else?"
    "Um, no, thank you. It was delicious." I bit my lip as pleasure filled me at his words.
    "I'm so sorry for my husband's, uh, brashness, dear. Men are so indelicate, aren't they?" Lillian shot him a look that clearly told him to stop talking. I wanted to laugh. They were so cute.
    "It's just that we just haven't seen our son this happy before, and we know there is much more to it than his success." She arched her brows and her mouth widened in a big
