Choking on my wine, I shove the extremely adult contents of the package back into the box. Then I jump up and bolt down the hall to my bedroom to shove it all in my closet.
Outside my room, I hear Nora slamming the door to her own room shut.
Shit.
Time to put on my big sister hat.

“Nora?”
“Come in.”
Fear and worry stab into me at the soft, utterly broken tone of my sister’s voice. I quickly push the door open.
“Nora?”

“Hey, it’s okay! Shh, it’s okay. I’m here. I’m here.”
I stroke her hair as she clings to my arm, sobbing.
“Do you want to talk about it? Did something happen with someone at school?”
She shakes her head, then twists, lifting her eyes, blurry with tears, to mine. “Some kids from school got jumped tonight.”
My brow furrows. “Jumped as in mugged?”
“As in they got the shit beat out of them.”
