You mean to tell me you aren't excited to see your baby sister?
Mom smiled.
Will rolled his eyes.
Yeah, Audra's fine, I guess.
She's excited to see you, and so is Lily.
Will doubted all of that very much.
Audra was two years younger than him and approximately 10,000 years ahead of him.
She'd done everything right and done it early.
Degree, career, Armin, the house, Lily.
Not because she was ruthless about it, but because she was competent and competence, Will had come to understand, was its own kind of cruelty.
She didn't rub his face in any of it.
The gap between them was so wide and so established that it had stopped requiring acknowledgement from either of them.
Well, shucks.
I'm just so excited to see Audra.
He relented sarcastically.
I'll make sure to clean up downstairs.
You don't have to do all that.
They're not going to mind.
No, it's fine, Mom.
I'll make it nice for when Lily eventually gets bored and watches TV down there.
