Kian Rhodes - 2018
    Sorry I'm late.." The decidedly male voice trailed off as Ryan lowered the three boxes that had been obscuring his face. "You are not Gina." Ryan chuckled, immediately liking the man. "Nope. She's in the house." He wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans and walked over to offer it. "Ryan Daniels, Gina's brother." "Christian Dillion," the newcomer offered, gripping Ryan's hand. "I've seen you at the scout meetings." He realized he was staring when Ryan raised an amused brow. "Sorry." He released Ryan's hand and smiled. "Damn. I mean, the resemblance is seriously amazing." Ryan laughed and turned back to the pallets in the garage. "I'll take that as a compliment. Gina should be in the kitchen." "Thanks. Let me say hi and I'll be back to pitch in." Christian let himself into the house, careful to close the screen door without slamming it. As promised, Gina was in the kitchen, mixing what looked like a pitcher of pink lemonade on the counter by the sink. "Hey, girl." He leaned down to drop a friendly kiss on her cheek. "Please God, tell me your brother is gay."
