*Amber* “Thorn?” The name escapes my lips like a whisper, barely daring to believe my eyes. My twin brother stands before me, his presence both a shock and a balm for the ache I’ve carried since that day. He has a couple of fading bruises, but elseway he looks healthy. Without thinking, I launch myself at him, wrapping my arms around his solid frame. “Oh my God, I can’t believe you’re here, I thought I lost you too,” I exclaim, squeezing him tightly, feeling the familiar warmth of his body. “You look so good… and rich. I missed you!” He laughs, the sound rich and vibrant, filling the space between us with warmth I thought I would never feel again. “Missed you too, Amber. You have no idea how much,” he says, pulling back just enough to meet my gaze. His eyes sparkle with a mixture of joy and something deeper, something that speaks of trials survived. “You clean up rather well,” I say looking over his tailored suit, I have never seen him in anything but sweats or kakis with a tee.
