The Brother I Shouldn’t Want
My knuckles still stung slightly, but I ignored it, pushing it aside the same way I pushed everything else aside.
He stayed where he was, watching me, his expression unreadable now, but I didn’t care anymore.
There was nothing left to say.
Nothing that mattered.
I turned and started toward the door, my steps steady again then I stopped. Something crossed my mind, sharp and deliberate, and I turned back just enough to look at him.
“Brother,” I said.
He didn’t respond, just stared at me. A smile played at my mouth as I held the door knob.
“How bad are you in bed that your wife wants to leave you and marry me.”
