“We are. I spend any time I can with her and Liv.”
“Olivia is such a sweet girl,” she praises, making me smile.
“She is,” I agree, making me think of how great of a mom my sister is. It reminds me of how Camille wants to meet her, and I feel like this is the perfect time to bring it up.
“And my sister wants to meet you. Well, you’ve met at pick-ups, but officially meet you if you know what I mean,” I add, hoping she’ll be receptive to it.
“I’d like that.”
Her answer makes me relax, knowing that she’s open to it and is willing to have a relationship with my family.
“What about you and Ian? I remember you told me it was just the two of you growing up.”
I glance over at Teagan, seeing a small smile on her face. “He’s supportive, a bit overprotective, and kind of an asshole at times, but he’s the best brother. I couldn’t imagine growing up without him.”
“Kind of an asshole?”
“So you know him well.” She chuckles, making me smile at the sound. After clearing her throat, she asks, “Why do you guys hate each other?”
“We’re just different,” I say, not wanting to be disrespectful.
“I keep telling him he’s on a team sport and to act like it. But we are related, so he’s as bullheaded as I am.”
“Yeah, he’s something all right,” I mutter, the words slipping out uncontrollably.
“Look, I don’t expect you guys to be besties, but I’d like for it to not be a bloodbath anytime you’re in the same vicinity,” she says pointedly, and she’s fair in asking for that.
“I think it might be Ian who has a harder time with that.”
“You let me deal with him.”
