By the time they reached the island, Mateo realized he hadn’t seen Dickson in a long while. They hadn’t even spoken, not since the last time at Sierra’s place.

He had been angry then, but his temper never lasted long. Soon enough, he let it

Sierra glanced at him and explained, “I asked him, but he has things to take care of. He won’t be coming for now. Maybe around New Year he’ll visit.”

Mateo didn’t press the matter further.

Sierra sighed softly. She knew Mateo felt Dickson was ungrateful, especially after everything he had done for him. Still, it was better this way – at least they could remain friends.

The island was private, free of outsiders.

Sierra felt well enough to join Jonathan and Mateo for a round of sea fishing, though after one outing Mateo didn’t want to go again. He thought the whole thing was too awkward.

He had never realized Jonathan could be so clingy with Sierra. Watching them made him want to fall in love himself.

His family had considered arranging a marriage for him, but the unrest in the capital had put everything on hold. Families like theirs naturally preferred alliances, which meant choosing carefully.

He longed for someone like that. Yet the thought made him scoff at himself. Even brothers could betray, let alone lovers. Maddox and Dickson were proof enough.

The first was his childhood brother. The second, someone he treated like his own younger sibling. Yet both had walked away.

Remembering Dickson stirred up his resentment all over again. He had just cooled down, but now the bitterness rose again. Muttering a few words to Sierra and Jonathan, he retreated to his room and dialed Dickson’s number.

Dickson picked up quickly. “Mateo.”

“Well, at least you still remember I’m your Mateo. Though I’m not sure I deserve the title anymore.” Mateo’s voice dripped with sarcasm.

Dickson fell silent, at a loss for words.

The silence only aggravated Mateo. “Say something.”

“What does Mateo want me to say?”

That only fueled his anger further. “Usually your mouth never stops running. What, cat got your tongue now?”

“…No matter what I say, I don’t think it’ll make you happy.”

Dickson’s voice was soft, almost apologetic. He had always been an obedient boy, which was why Mateo had taken to him in the first place. He had seemed so pitiful and well–behaved that Mateo had wanted to treat him kindly.

Now, though, the same boy was infuriating.

“You really don’t know why I’m angry?” Mateo demanded, feeling wronged. Maddox at least had reasons for what he did. With Dickson, Mateo didn’t even know what had driven him away.

Silence stretched on again. Just as Mateo was about to snap, Dickson finally spoke. “Mateo, I can’t stay at your place forever.”

“Why not?” Mateo frowned. To him, it wasn’t a problem.
