18th November, 2016.
The Anderson's Residence.

      SNOW PARTED THE BLUE curtains and let the darkness of the room be chased away by the morning light. The light hit the eyes of the sleepy head sprawled on the blue mattress and he stirred a bit. Snow patted his back and he finally opened his eyes.

       He looked over at the clock by his night stand and groaned when it was only 6:30 am. Half an hour of his precious sleep was snatched away from Snow. He groaned and closed his eyes again waving his hand dismissively at Snow.

       "Hey baby brother. Tell me what happened? Quickly." Snow ordered Roger, but softly.

       "Huh? What?" Roger rubbed his eyelids, yawning in the process.

       "You know what. What happened to you yesterday?"

       Roger was not his mischievous, cheery self yesterday. Something was off. There was a huge shift in his behavior. Just by looking at his face Snow knew that he was upset.

       "So you noticed?" The sides of Roger's lips tugged into a smile.

       "Of course, have I ever stopped?" Snow also replied with a smile.

       Roger's smile instantly fell and Snow's eyebrow's scrunched up in confusion at his next words, "But now you will."

        "What are you speaking about Rog?" Snow asked. Worry laced in each word she spoke.

       Instantly she bubbled up with self-doubt. Did I make him feel unloved? Have I failed to be a good elder sister?

        "You're leaving in a month. You'll be gone with your husband. You will forget me Snow." Roger's head was buried in his hands and by the heavy breathing any blind man could also tell that he was crying.

        Snow immediately hugged her little brother to her chest as the tears slid down her cheeks. They stayed in each other's embrace for a good fifteen minutes before Snow pulled away.

       "Hey listen up boy. Don't you ever think that I'm leaving you because I'm not. You know how I stay connected to people I love right? It's like a string tied from here" she pointed towards her heart "to here." She now placed her finger on his heart. "Besides I'm in this town itself. Whenever you need me," she paused and sang "I'm only one call away I-."

      Roger instantly blocked his ears, "Oh god, please have mercy! My ear drums are going to burst." He yelled dramatically.

      At this Snow's nose flared with anger. "You!" she jumped on Roger but he was quick to escape. He opened his bedroom door and ran out. When Snow reached the door it slammed in her face, injuring her nose in process. But she ignored the pain and ran after Roger, his laughter echoed around the entire mansion.

       Snow thought of tricking Roger because he was way ahead and faster than her. "Roger, there's a chameleon there."

      If Roger ever really feared something they were the chameleons in Snow's garden. "What? Where?" He stopped dead in his tracks looking around in search of the chameleon.

      Before he could understand it was Snow's trick she tackled him to the ground, sitting on his belly she crossed both of his hands over his chest. "Say sorry Rog." She demanded.
