Roman put an arm around Samuel's shoulders and kissed him on the side of the head. He appreciated his boyfriend sticking up for him and hoped that Brooklyn realised that Samuel was right. He couldn't just apologise and then leave it at that. He needed to prove that he meant his words and was willing to make it up to the twins.
"I know," Brooklyn said softly. Allison seemed to have fallen asleep, so Brooklyn carefully stood up with her in his arms and walked her over to the couch where the two couples sat. He placed her carefully in London's lap, then went to sit in one of the two armchairs Roman and Samuel had in their lounge area.
"I know that I should have realised it a long time ago, but I've realised that I was being petty and childish and a terrible brother to the both of you," he said. "And I know I need to actually prove that for you to believe it. But I'm going to try."
"Why should we let you?" London whispered. Even if Roman had been hurt a lot more by Brooklyn than herself, she seemed to be less willing to let him back into their lives.
Brooklyn hesitated. "You shouldn't, really. I don't deserve it. But if you don't want to do it for me or you, do it for Mum, because all she wants is for us to get along."
Roman licked his lips and looked at his twin. They shared a silent moment of communication before London looked at Evan. "What do you think?" she asked her boyfriend, who had yet to weigh in on the issue verbally.
