You've grown up without him. Your older brother having enlisted in the army as soon as he turned 18. You were 10. He still remembers you, all bows and dolls. He doesn't know who you've become now.

He's dispatched, 9 years have passed now, he's 27, while you're 19. You have no plans to follow in his footsteps. Plans for university and a good career.

He planned to surprise you and the rest of the family by coming in the house when he thought no one was home.

He doesn't expect you to be home, doesn't expect you to look like this. Like a young man. No dresses, glitter in sight.

A lot has changed.
