Twila continued to stare at her brother for a moment. Then her mouth wiggled briefly before turning into a smile. Which then turned into a quiet laugh.
"I suppose I cannot argue with that, brother."
Nor did she want to.
All and all, something about this conversation felt off to Twila. Though that wasn't entirely unexpected. Perhaps she was numbing herself to potential signs of how he truly felt, because he was telling her what she wanted to hear.
Exactly what she wanted to hear.
It was just as unsettling as it was comforting. But it was none the less comfort sorely needed. So she accepted it at face value, simultaneously wondering if that was wise.
"You are correct. About all of it. And I cannot deny the fact that in spite of things, I do not wish to simply sit things out."
She moved as though she was going to take his hand. Then surpassing his hand, she went in for the hug.
