My cheerful sister is lost in her own world, fighting circumstances she shouldn’t even know.
I’m lost in my world that seems to be crumbling more than thriving lately.
“I don’t want to marry a stranger,” she whispers.

“Tee, you will marry who you want to marry.” I utter the promise that I’m going to keep at any cost.
