A question caught me by surprise-2

So I answered it, and my beautiful, loving twin, sensing that she’d been
rebuffed, fled the room, slamming the door behind her. I knew that I was
letting go of an opportunity, and I doubted it would present itself again.
I just hoped that by doing so, I was saving both of our lives and that my
sister would forgive me.

Three weeks went by without either of us mentioning that night. It
could have been a dream if it weren’t for the dark looks I occasionally
received from my sister whenever Vicky and I were together. After that
night, I was determined to make things work between us, to have an honest
shot at a normal relationship, one that wouldn’t land me in prison.

Yes, prison. Turns out, my home state carried a twenty-five year
sentence. There was very little information available on consensual
incest, but there was plenty on the non-consensual variety, including a
slew of Land and Order: SVU episodes. Everything I learned confirmed my
worst fears, and left me convinced that I’d made the right choice, no
matter how painful it was.
