In the shadows I lurk. I glare. My expression probably rivals the one my father wears in council.
But there is no one to affirm my suspicions as I remain hidden and watch my sister cross the room with her beloved. They laugh and refill their glasses with wine. I scowl.
My secret... I hate him. I hate what it means. This... Man... who I helped raise, who I knew as my little brother, will take my sister away from us. I tend to speak my mind, but this is one secret that shall remain so, even from my twin.
I watch my brother happily join them. I lose her if I say nothing, but if I reveal my distaste, I risk losing them all.
