Meredith has a knack for making me feel like I’m overreacting. Whenever I’ve tried to address issues between us, she dismisses me with that signature smirk and changes the topic.

Over the years, I’ve let things slide because she’s my only sister. Our parents passed away in our twenties, and losing them taught me how precious family is.

I didn’t want to lose my last blood relative over small fights.

The thing is, our lives have always moved in sync.

We got married within three years of each other. We had our kids just two years apart. Even our sons’ birthdays are only days apart.
