Page 44 of A Valentino Reunion
“Who?” I narrow my eyes at her in confusion.
With a sigh and an eye roll, Livvy stands from her chair. “Oceanus and Tethys, the offspring of Uranus and Gaia, were the primeval parents of the gods.” At my blank expression, Livvy walks over to the shelf and picks up a book before opening it up to a page. She turns it around and shows me a picture of a fountain. “It’s the Trevi Fountain in Rome. That…” She points to a stone dude in the middle. “…is Oceanus.”
I’ve seen the fountain before. I know who it is.
“And you’re comparing your parents to Oceanus and Tethys?”
“I said what I said, Liv.” I shrug.
“You know Oceanus married his sister, right?” she says, laughing.
“Normal people don’t have all this useless knowledge in their heads, Liv,” I tell her and walk out of the room. I need to call Romeo. Someone has to know or be able to figure out what the fuck is going on around here.
I dial my twin’s number and the call goes straight to voicemail. What the fuck? Instead of leaving a message, I send a group text to all my brothers.
Luca:
@everyone Where the fuck are you, Romeo???
Theo:
@Luca Why not just ask him? What’s the need for all of us to be involved?
Matteo:
@Luca Use that creepy twin-mind shit you two have to locate him.
Luca:
@Matteo I’ve tried. @Theo Because why not?
Theo:
@Luca When you find him, tell him I want to ask him something. IMPORTANT.
Matteo:
@Theo Oh, the capitals are out, bro. What’s so IMPORTANT???
Theo:
@Matteo I want to know if there’s been research to prove that only one twin gets the full number of brain cells. I think @Romeo won the lottery, while poor @Luca got whatever was left over. Which clearly wasn’t much.
Matteo:
@Romeo I second this question. I want to know also.
Luca:
@everyone I hate you all.
Romeo:
@everyone I’m in Rome having gelato with Tilly. Stop fucking blowing up my phone with this useless shit.
Matteo:
@Romeo Lorenzo is in Rome ATM too.
