Lyra excused herself to Vincent's balcony.
"Hello?" Lyra answered.
"Bonjour ma petite amie." Larry replied.
"Oh I'm sorry, you have the wrong number." Lyra replied sarcastically.
"No be mad mon coeur, I spend time with Lau."
"No, no I completely understand, your baby always comes first. As long as you have him, all is right in your world, right?" Lyra asked but Larry was quiet. "At some point in your life you will have to make room for someone else. Unless you want to spend the rest of your life with your brother as the only love in your life. And I'm not judging, if that's the case, I hope you two will be very happy." Lyra turned when she heard the door open.

"Red or white?" Vincent asked.
"I'm sorry I should have told you I don't drink. Do you have something else?" Lyra asked shyly.
"Of course bellezza, dinner will be ready in ten minutes." Vincent said then closed the door.

"Who the fvck is that?" Larry yelled.
"It doesn't matter, with whom I spend time. You told me to leave you alone."
"This about those girls," Larry stated, "They mean nothing, I know them before but I no be with them."

Lyra felt a wave of pain hit her.

"I don't know what you're talking about but I'm glad you are reconnecting with your harem. Thanks for calling to check on me. Take care." Lyra hurried off the phone before her voice cracked. "Stupid, you aren't together, it doesn't matter what he does. It doesn't affect you anymore. It doesn't matter and you better not tear up!" She gently wiped her eyes, took a few deep breaths to swallow her sob, put a pleasant look on her face then walked back inside.

When Larry realized Lyra was out with some guy, doing who knows what he got irritated.

'I know I hurt her but what more she want? I say I sorry. He probably have his hands on her, right now.'

Larry yelled in frustration. Laurent jumped then turned to look at his brother as he removed his headphones.

"What happened? Why you scream? You okay?" Laurent looked his brother over to make sure he was okay then stopped when he saw the cold look in his brother's eyes.

"Larry?" Laurent raised his voice to get his brother's attention and Larry focused on his brother's concerned face.

Larry sighed and shook his head, "It nothing Lau. Come on us go." He smiled as he walked towards the waiting area to go on stage.

Laurent thought about pressing his brother for answers but he remembered he promised to give Larry his space when he needed. Right now seemed to be one of those times. He put his stuff in his bag then ran to catch up to his brother.

The next weekend Larry was trying to convince Lyra, with no success, to visit him in Europe when Vincent showed up. Lyra told him she would think about it and hung up.

"Hello," Lyra smiled as she opened her door for Vincent.
"Miss Amalea." He greeted her.
"Vincent, what brings you by?" Lyra asked putting her phone in her pocket.
"The other day you never answered my question." Vincent smiled when Lyra let him in. Lyra felt herself blush slightly as she lead the way into the living room.
"What question?" She sat in a chair after he sat on her couch.

"Is your passport still valid?"
"Yes of course, I mean I'm sure it's still good." Lyra replied.
"May I see it?" Vincent asked.

Lyra stared at him suspiciously for a few moments then retrieved her passport from her office safe and handed it to him. As soon as he had it in his hands, he picked her up and carried her out to his car. Lyra barely managed to grab her purse with her wallet and house keys on the way out the door.
