A question caught me by surprise-1

“Jen, do you ever think that maybe we’re a little too…comfortable with
each other?” I asked slowly.

“What do you mean?”

“Like this,” I said, squeezing her hand for emphasis. “What we’re doing
right now.”

“We’ve shared a bed ever since we were kids,” my sister replied, a
little defensively.

“Uh huh. But we’re not kids anymore. Isn’t it a little weird now?” I
asked.

“I don’t know,” Jennifer said thoughtfully. “I never really thought
about it.”

“I’m just saying. I think our relationship might be a lot
more…intimate than most. Like, inappropriately intimate,” I explained.

“Well, most siblings fight like cats and dogs over stupid shit. We’ve
been best friends our whole lives. I’d say we’re ahead of the curve when
it comes to brother/sister relationships,” Jennifer declared
authoritatively. “Where us this coming from anyway?”

“Something Nick said earlier.”

Jennifer snorted derisively. “Nick’s just jealous. He’s had a thing
for me ever since high school and he won’t accept that I’m not interested.”
