Page 70 of My Brother’s Best Friends Entanglement

It's the first time someone other than Marcus has said anything in the group, and for a moment I stare at his name in the chat.

Marcus:

THAT'S your contribution. Z?

"Received." Like I'm but a parcel? Least you can do is sign for me. *pouts*

Despite myself, I laugh out loud again. How they've managed to maintain a group that has both Marcus and Leon without someone committing murder is beyond me.

Marcus:

And to demonstrate how the rules work, I'm officially giving advance notice that I won't be home till late tonight. Display home demo is this arvo. Phew. A year in the making. Nervous? Me? Never.

So you're all on your own for dinner. Sorry gremlins.

Zachary:

Sorry, mate, still can't make it, told you last week I've got that bourbon tasting to go to. You're gonna smash it though. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Rhys:

I've got the job fair on tonight at the Exhibition Centre. Tried to get someone to cover but really couldn't swing it. Wish I could be there for you. But you're ready for this. Smash it.

They both mean it, how sorry they can't be at whatever Marcus is talking about. I might have a lot of deep seated issues with them, but there's no doubt how much they love and support each other. Display home demo. I wonder what that's about. I ask the only person I feel comfortable asking.

Alexia:

Leon, what's a display home demo?

Leon:

No “hello”? No “how are you best brother in the world”?

Alexia:

Answer the question then I'll go find the best brother in the world and text him.

Leon:

Wow. You give and you give and this is the kind of love you get in return.

Alexia:

Do you want me to tell everyone about what I found in your bottom desk drawer?

Leon:

I WARNED THEM ABOUT YOUR NOSY WAYS!

Fine.

It's when different construction companies build the demo homes based on the designer spec and a bunch of agents from the industry come and check out the work to decide who they're going to give contracts to.

It's pretty important. Can set a small construction company up for years.

Why? You getting bored of poli sci?

Alexia:
