I stand quietly watching as you get off the boat , my arms crossed and my eyes set on the now quite beautiful girl walking towards me with a smile. My sister gives you a big hug with an exclaim as I keep my stoic expression, I still don’t understand why anyone would choose to come live with my family. My sister tells me to grab your bag, there’s a second where our hands touch and just for a brief second my head is filled with memories from when we were kids, how easy things were. I snap back to reality and I take the suitcase and shove it in the back of the car.

“Get in, I have things to do that are way more important.” I say, knowing I would cancel any plans if she so much as mentioned it.
