My stepbrother
I bite my lips, trying to hold back my laughter.
“I did,” I reply between chuckles.
“How did a raccoon get in?” Little giggles escape my lips as my mind searches for a reason.
“I don’t know, mom. I was enjoying my steak when out of nowhere, this raccoon pounces on me. Zayne, my lovely new brother, did not even help. He let it attack me. It was so awful, mom.” My mouth falls open, and my laughter stops as Maija shoves me under the bus. Well, I guess I deserve it. I sigh as mom stares at me, waiting for an explanation.
