Blue: It’s not like that. Hell, Oliver and I go out of our way to live on top of each other. *wink emoji* I just didn’t want you to think you were inconveniencing anyone.
Me: Oh. Well, thank you. And that would be great.
There’s enough of a pause after I send my last message that I think the conversation is over.
I’m fine with that. It’s still hard for me to think about Blue and Oliver being intimate. She’s still my little sister and he’s still one of my oldest friends and almost twenty years older than her.
When I have my hand on the door, another message comes through.
Blue: I warned him I’d kill him if he broke your heart but I'll let him live if you’re wanting to take the risk. And you can tell him I told you that. You know… So he doesn’t resist giving in on my account. You deserve to have a little fun. He could bring you fun by the bucket loads.
Blue: At least think about it.
She tacks on that last bit, I’m sure, to keep me from being able to outright refuse or brush her off. I humor her and respond.
Me: Already have *winky face*
Blue sends a gif of a woman clapping excitedly, followed by a string of eggplant emoji.
That’s my baby sister…
