Rose leaned against the bathroom door. Here it was — her real life, the truth of who she was, barreling down on her like a bus with bad brakes. Here was the truth — she wasn’t the kind of person Jim c...
Sibling relationships outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warm...
I want a relationship where we talk like best friends, play like kids, argue like husband and wife, and protect each other like siblings.
Well, he said with an affected sigh, you have my approval, at least.Why? Hyacinth asked suspiciously.It would be an excellent match, he continued. If nothing else, think of the children.She knew she’d...
Mom loved my brother more. Not that she didn't love me - I felt the wash of her love every day, pouring over me, but it was a different kind, siphoned from a different, and tamer, body of water. I was...
For a moment we glared at each other, stubborn as cats on the stable wall, full of mutual resentment and something darker, the old sense between sisters that there is only really room in the world for...
Knowing Finn thought I was an awful driver. Like, running of gas while getting a speeding ticket awful.
He gave her a sly, sideways look. Did youbring it?My list? Heavens, no. What can you be thinking?His smile widened. I brought mine.Daphne gasped. You didn't!I did. Just to torture Mother. I'm going pe...
Joseph would reach out to me occasionally, the same way the desert blooms a flower every now and then. You get so used to the subtleties of beige and Brown, and then a sunshine-yellow poppy bursts fro...
At times like this, Eryn didn't feel like they were just twins. They were teammates. They were partners. They were two halves of the same brain.
One of the few things left in the world, aside from the world itself, that sadden me every day is an awareness that you get upset if Boo Boo or Walt tells you you're saying something that sounds like...
He’s my brother, my blood. He annoys the hell out of me most of the time, but when it comes right down to it I want to see him graduate from college and have little annoying mini-Alexes and mini-Britt...
There is so much that is still silent between Jaja and me. Perhaps we will talk more with time, or perhaps we never will be able to say it all, to clothe things in words, things that have long been na...
If you want to see something funny, it's a tough hood sticking his tongue out at his big brother.
It's been my experience that only children never learn when to keep their fucking traps shut. An older brother would have beat that out of you.

Artemis let her head fall back, her eyes closed, her lips suddenly trembling. Apollo dying. Please. Please, Maximus. I’ll refrain from provoking you anymore. I’ll stay in the shadows with my stockings...
That dung flop? Nakita said, her dislike almost visibly dripping into nasty puddles at Amy’s designer flats. Yes, I guess. That doesn’t mean I have to like him.I know what you mean. Amy faked a heartf...
My brother and sister have led extraordinary lives, but I wasn't there, and I can't tell you that part. I've stuck here to the part I can tell, the part that's mine, and still everything I've said is...
