    Summary

    “Would you love me if I wasn’t your sister?” There was that question again: love. What was it, really?

    “I’m only obligated to love you because you’re my sister.”

    "I mean the way you loved Julia."

    Summary

    He always came running back to her, especially concerned whenever she hurt herself. He would patch her up and kiss the band-aid while she blubbered fat crocodile tears. She drank in these scraps of his attention the same way a dog might eat barf off the floor. But those temporary moments of affection were growing farther and fewer in between, and she could only inflict so many injuries on herself—god knows the hag wouldn’t pay a hospital bill, not for her.

    So she was thrilled to have discovered a foothold, another way to worm back into his good graces. Sure, maybe it went against convention to launch a seduction campaign on your own brother, but it’s not like she had a reputation to protect anyway. Andrew, on the other hand, very much did. He’s a coward who loves to hide behind her, always has been. Ashley knows he would never give himself permission to do anything unless she started it.

    Summary

    He’s sick of her. Sick to death. Sick to the bone. She’s like a fucking tumor: stubborn, infectious, latches on to the blood vessels, sinks its row of miniature teeth into the vulnerable thin membranous parts, her hungry spindly roots finding her forever home and she’ll not let anything weed her out, come hell or high water.

    She’s a tough gray thing, his doomless beloved nightmare, incomparable, singular in her intractable tortuous stinkfest. Unmanageable. A foul brat through and through, whose feeble swiss-cheese brain can’t comprehend the meaning or function of boundaries. He supposes he can’t blame her much, not when their darling rotten mother has decided that Andrew is Ashley’s de facto parent, caretaker, best friend, mentor, and babysitter, but she’s no longer the little snotty-nosed kid who stuck to the bottom of his shoe like a chewed out piece of fucking gum.

    *

    Or, to make his relationship work with Julia, Andrew caves in to her suggestion: hook Ashley up with someone so she wouldn't focus on Andrew so much anymore. Unfortunately, Andrew doesn't calculate the damage it could do to his psyche.

    Summary

    Ashley's lips twitched in a way that told him that the following words out of her mouth would make him regret trying to comfort her. “What? Are you gonna teach me to kiss or something?”

    Andrew rubbed the back of his neck uneasily, “…I shouldn’t. It’s not like I know much, either.”

    Something tightened in his belly, and her eyelids crinkled when she noticed.

    She really was like a fucking shark. “But you will,” she said knowingly.

    “…but I will,” he confirmed, because he was a fucking idiot and he as much as he hated always giving into his sister’s whims, he also loved how happy she became when he gave her exactly what she wanted.
