She stepped further into my personal space again, the heat radiating off her skin clashing violently with the icy void in my chest.
"If... if you had stayed the same... if you hadn't looked at me like that... if only you remained the useless, predictable brother I knew how to protect!" She sucked in a breath, "You... you are my brother... yet I am feeling something odd about you. Something that shouldn't be there."
