Derrick: He seems it. He was very excited when I messaged and then promptly asked to FaceTime, and it was surreal. Obviously, he gets his good looks from me.
Sienna: Obvs.
Olivia: How do you feel?
Derrick: Happy. Freaked out. But … I don’t know, like a piece I didn’t know I was missing has been filled.
Vanessa: So happy for you.
Stacey: Brothers!
Derrick: Rowan must have told Callum about me reaching out, and the next thing I know, I’m on the phone with him. And if you think I’m crazy …
Vanessa: Wait. Are you telling us there is another Derrick out there?
Derrick: Probably another three because then he created a group chat called Sinclair Brothers, even though I’m not a Sinclair, and added Tavish and Arran to the chat.
Olivia: That is awesome.
Derrick: They’re insane. And emotional. And kind. And annoying. I might love them already, and I’m trying not to freak out.
Olivia: Rowan is lovely. Callum is chaos. Tavish and Arran are menaces. Welcome to the Sinclair clan.
Isla: Pics. Now.
Vanessa: I second that.
Sienna: Thirded.
Derrick: FINE.
I drop in Rowan’s profile photo.
Then Callum’s.
Then the chaos chat screenshot.
Vanessa: HOLY SHIT THEY’RE GORGEOUS.
Isla: Excuse me, is this a GQ spread??
Stacey: Callum is trouble. I can smell it through the phone.
Sienna: I’m so proud of you, D.
Olivia: They’re good men. I promise.
Vanessa: WE ARE THEIR SISTERS NOW, TOO, I DON’T MAKE THE RULES.
Isla: Poor them.
Derrick: You guys are ridiculous.
Vanessa: LOVE YOU TOO.
A tiny smile tugs at my lips.
Family expanding in both directions.
