Everyone was looking, many with fear. Security was called, and Abbey had to announce that this was her brother, Revulsion was on many faces, even Matt’s. He stared as if he had never seen Abbey before.

Unlike Baron, Matt didn’t call Abbey or show up at her flat.
He was not the type of man to deal with this kind of confusion. Handsome, active, for him life was an adventure. He had no intention of being involved with someone who had a Crazy Brother.
