" We have company", Estelle said.
The twin, Justin saw when he looked over his shoulder. Standing at the end of the bridge, looking steadily at them.
"Tell me," Watley said. "Is this a very late-night walk or an early- morning pilgrimage to watch the sunrise?"
His room was next to Estelle's. And they had that odd twin connection even though they were not identical...
"Tell me," Justin said. "In what way is the answer to that any of of your business?"
Estelle gave a little huff of what might have been laughter.
"It is not," Watley said amiably. "I just thought it was a more original conversation opener than a comment upon weather."
"Was any conversation opener necessary?" Justin said. "Have you ever heard the one about three being a crowd?"
Rather than look abashed, Watley grinned. "You are going to have to get used to it, old chap", he said. "That is my twin whose hands you have trapped against your chest. Whom you were about to kiss, if I'm not much mistaken. In what is now broad daylight. For every servant and house guest to see. "
