you.”

The feelings I don't have, I won't say I have.

The feelings you would like us both to have, we
neither of us have.”

“I know,” she replied, feeling her own mouth curve into a matching expression.
He blew out a breath. “As your brother, I could forbid you to go. But you and I both know that, even if I did so, you would do whatever you wish regardless. I suppose I have no choice but to accede to your request.””
