??He??s not my little brother,?? I told her.
She stared at me, waiting for an explanation of our relationship, but I said nothing. Then, about two weeks later, when Sean was leaving my apartment one night and Laurel was climbing the stairs to her own, she happened to catch me give him a kiss before pushing him out the door. After that minor PDA, she never mentioned my ??little brother?? again. Hell, after that, she barely looked me in the face again. 7
