'If only I were the older brother, and she were my little sister!'
'That way, I could be the one to protect her and Mom.'
Lately, Alex Grant had often found himself hating the fact that he was the younger sibling. He couldn't help his sister at all; instead, he was just another burden to her.
"Alex, it's really not as hard for me as you think. Everyone at work is very good to me. They all look after me."
"But... but Julian Sterling treats you so badly! You were such a perfect wife to him, and he still forced you into a divorce! It's unforgivable! Sis, you can't ever, ever give him another chance, okay?"
Alex Grant looked as if he wanted to march right over and punch Julian Sterling.
"Don't worry. Julian Sterling and I are over."
