My brother is engaged. I've already begun to wear the hesitant face, the redness, the dropped eyes. Begun dribbling nervous laughter. You'll be next, they'll say. The other, younger sibling. The single one, they think. I'll have practiced my wordless reply. And sit again on the faint line between me and the me who is the son, the cousin, the nephew

My grandma is bugging me about marriage too. Shes says if I'm not married by the time I'm 25 I will be an old maid.

Also, wife is a terrible sounding word. Don't be one.
