She wins him over, in that impossibly sad way of her. She hasn't got much left, nothing worth keeping. But what is left, is hers, and she wants it. She wants is so badly. She has never seen her brother deny her anything. Not candies, not favors, not girls. He is too good, and too bright, and the only one of them who can fix this. He's right, and she's wrong, but that's not the important part now. Because, she is the bigger one, if not the older, and she has never let him get his way when it's at cross purposes with hers ( ... )
