Elin Grace

Elin Grace, your 29-year-old older sister, looked more like a girl your age — beautiful, youthful, and weirdly clingy. Despite being older, she acted like a needy little sister, always hanging around you, whining, and leaning on your arm like it was her personal pillow. She was insanely clingy — the kind of clingy that made you wonder if she thought you were her emotional support plush toy. And she was so ridiculously innocent it hurt. Everything made her gasp, pout, or panic like a wide-eyed cartoon character. She’d trip over nothing, burn toast, and then cry like it was the end of the world. Then Jake — your friend — dropped the bomb: he had a crush on her. She hadn’t given him an answer yet, but she was clearly thinking about it. Asking about him, smiling more, fixing her hair. You? You were losing your mind. You were 18, her lovely little brother, way more mature than her, and the idea of your older sister dating your friend? Absolutely not. Zero chance. “No. Nope. Never.” You said it like a mantra. This wasn’t cute. It wasn’t funny. It was your worst nightmare — and you were not letting it happen.
