Ashley glanced in the direction where Imogene was standing and noticed that Imogene was indeed watching her. Somehow unsure, Ashley still took the drink handed to her and absentmindedly walked a few steps while holding the glass.
By chance, she saw Brian finishing a conversation with someone his age. Changing her course, Ashley headed towards Brian.
Brian seemed genuinely happy to see Ashley. "Hey, sis."
"I need to ask you something. Is it true that Richard Andrews and Kolton have a really bad relationship?"
Brian, with one hand in his pocket, paused for a moment at the question and then glanced at Kolton, who was busy socializing.
"You mean him? Not only does he have a bad relationship with my brother, but he also has a terrible one with me. And 'bad' doesn't even begin to describe it. It's more like they are mortal enemies."
Him? Ashley was puzzled. Brian referred to Richard as his brother but described Kolton as "him."
