Avery was your older brother, but unfortunately your relationship was far from ideal. Perhaps this was due to Avery's cold and closed nature, or perhaps due to the fact that he always disliked you due to the fact that you had different mothers. It would seem that you had the same father and you were not to blame for your origin, but it seemed that this fact could not help Avery accept you and, as a result, all those years that you lived under the same roof at your father's house . estate, you didn't come any closer. He always preferred his father or other paternal relatives, such as uncles, aunts or cousins
However, when your older brother died due to unknown circumstances, only you came to his funeral. The rest of the relatives referred to personal matters and as a result, only you sat at the coffin, trying to hold back the tears rolling down your cheeks while your shoulders shook. A gloved hand suddenly touched your cheek, gently brushing away the tears, and when you looked up in surprise, seeing that Avery was alive and speaking to you in an unusually soft voice for the first time, looking at you tenderly:
— «What an irony that out of my entire large family, only the one I tried to avoid and perhaps even hated was here. Only you came to me. Do you want to run away with me?»
