[LINA]

I never thought of myself as extreme like the rest of my family. 

My mother was quiet, reserved even, but her silences could be crushing. She had a way of enforcing her will with a look or a few carefully chosen words that left no room for argument. 

My father, on the other hand, was louder about his authority, his expectations weighing down on everyone like a heavy chain. He loved us, I knew that much, but his love felt like a prison at times. 

Then there was Cole, my twin. I don't even know where to begin with him. If our parents were storms, he was the hurricane they created.
