STEP BROTHER DEAREST
my mother pursed her mouth, then turned to her fiance, "What about our beloved prodigal son?"
I jolted, "He has a son? You didn't mention the possiblity of step siblings."
I had only ever had one step sibling, and I almost wept in relief when mum had finally divorced Gabriel Bauer's father and I never had to see him again. He was the complete definition of the word insufferable, and i wasn't looking forward to the experience again.
"It's just one sibling," mum tutted, "And you won't get to see him often. He doesn't live in New York. In fact, after the wedding, you might never see him again at all."
