Once again, Venus' surprise was quite plain on her face. How had August never heard this story? Someone would have told him. If not herself, then Trent for sure! Wouldn't he have done? She wasn't so sure now. You always heard stories about how close twins were, but she knew that wasn't the case between Trent and August, weird as it seemed to her brain.
"I thought he was you," she said simply, and without difficulty or embarrassment. Venus began to grin warm. "It was at a party, our first year in college, and I think I might have had a few because I ran up to give you -- him -- a hug. It was kind of humiliating once he told me who he really was, but he was a good sport about it." She remembered begging Treat's forgiveness half a hundred times and how sweet he'd been about the whole thing. He could have made it a lot worse for her. "You darn Summers boys," she added, teasingly. "You're just too pretty."
