“I have to be at work at eight tomorrow, and I’ll be there all day.” “Okay.” I knew what she was trying to say. I knew it. “We agreed not to let people stay over…,” she kept going. There it was. “I’m so glad you came. Only you would. You’re the best half-sister I could ever ask for.” It was the half-sister that finally, finally made me flinch. She had only called me that every once in a while, and only over the last five years. Before I had always been her sister. Her big sister. And now, now I was her half-sister.
This genuinely makes me upset
