It was a foggy,snowy night when theodor and theodora entered the car after going to theodoras journalism boss party .
He sat wondering looking at the snow falling slowly while the cold air penetrates the lifeless trees the voice of his sister humming like a bee in his ears he raised his head saying in a low voice : you are singing it wrong It's i know you belong to somebody new but tonight you belong to me
That's what i said ! Theodora replied
No you did say someone else it's different
Theodor said
I don't care But a song is all about what you feel turned into music and lyrics theodora said with a high pitched voice
It does matter it's the writers lyrics not yours imagine them writing for days to bring the perfect song then you come and change it theodor said in an arguably voice .
Theodora said cut it off theo you make me feel like you're a whole singer yourself.
I'm not even going to drain my energy on you ,said theodor
Afterwards, the car was silent for the couple minutes except for the roaring sound of the chevrolet car engine and the gentle wind striking against the car window .
Finally, theodora broke the silence saying: you miss him ,don't you ?
Who? Asked theodor
Don't be silly theo i know you miss our dad , you never stay silent without annoying me with your thoughts unless it's something that makes you feel sad .
He looked at her brown eyes the thought of how she strongly looks like him and his mom rushed through his mind like a bullet , he said after a moment of confusion on his sister's face
Theo is there a bug on my hair ? Theodora said while giggling
Theodor replied, not really i just noticed how you look like our mom , by the way how is she doing with my aunt ?
Theodora answered : she is doing fine but she is also remember my dad too often my aunt says that she sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night calling his name half asleep.
Although it has been five years since his death she doesn't seem like she can forget him easily, Theodora said
How will she ? He is the love of her life don't you remember how she used to tell us how he tried to marry her three times after our grandfather rejecting him but it looks like our dad broke his ego with a fourth time that is when grandfather agreed because he saw him as a worthy hard working man who never give up on the things he loves .
Theodor said : are you crazy how will I forget when my mom literally told me this story before going to bed every day through out my childhood
He smirked .
Then, Theodora asked : now don't run away from the actual question tell me what were you thinking of ?
The answer was silent of Theodor's side
Theodora shaked her brother's shoulder while saying: hey don't just ignore me like that answer me I'm still your twin sister you know i can feel what you feel and go through
Theodor replied while giggling : yeah i know which can be really annoying sometimes if you get what i mean.
He continued but while a sad face reminiscing all the old memories
I miss father alot if feels like he went all for nothing the war already ended and everyone recovered but here I'm remembering him every single day growing up without him through my late teenage years was hard I couldn't just go and ask my mom about some men stuff or how to shave my beard for the first time ,also, i felt like i have to protect you and my mom from anything that might have been harmful do you remember when you broke up with your ex-boyfriend in sophomore year I blamed my self for not warning you or at least protecting you from this boy it felt like a volcano in my throat every time i heard you cry in you room after your breakup , but I'm grateful for how successful you became a star journalist in the news it means alot to me that you grew up to be strong but look at me I don't even have a job he ended his talk with a deep sight
Theodora began to move closer to him putting her hands on his shoulders with a sad smile: hey you don't have to be sad about anything of this it's fate father is in a better place now than all of this crap going on , don't worry you will find a job somewhere you just have to look also you have done good things to me everyday stop blaming yourself on anything that happened it is just fate also, don't forget everything happens for a reason she smiled.
Theodor replied : you know what you're right I don't have to worry about anything and live the moment for now .
Theodora replied : see I told you it is easy enough you just have to go with the flow while she was smiling
Theodor said in excitement: Talking about going with the flow did you see how the hell your boss was wearing he looked like a clueless man while trying to wear fashionable clothes or when they bought hot chocolates in the middle of the party who serve a hot choclate in a party  .
Theodora replied hey stop you do remember that it was generous of him to give me an invitation for you When you are not a part of the office nor a journalist
She made a silly face to make him annoyed.
Hey stop it .... stop it
Making every letter with a harder sound than usual
Theodora giggled loudly while her brother  stayed calm while the car sink in the darkness further and further from the city piercing through the silence night
Theodor said : does your office party have to be an hour drive away from our town for god sake, said  while he was feeling bored .
She replied: be patient don't act like a baby theo i think you grew old for this type of complaining ,she said while smiling
Anyways, I'm going to continue my novel if you don't mind I don't want a lot of noise .
He agreed with a nod of his head slowly and firmly placed his arms crossed on his chest while looking out of the window trying to distract himself with the nature around him but he failed so he started wondering if he will ever be in a situation where he is able to pay his own rent
But in the end of this all he closed his eyes wishing this will all go away and clear his mind when he wakes up .
Meanwhile, Theodora stayed reading the book with such attention and fucos that it got her on the edge of her seat .
She zone out without her will ,she started diving into her old memories .
Memories of her in their old house chasing after theo running around in circles, or when she first went to school with theo she remembered her mom saying: the twelve years will pass in a blink of an eye she didn't believe her in the past but now she knows well how fast time pass and how fast out lives have changed, she smiled while remembering her days in journalism oficial training and much more but she mostly remember when she ran to her friends house with theo to drive her first car it all started in that early summer morning around 7 am when her mom was falling in deep sleep
She convinced theo to go out with her to her friends house to drive their new sport car they started learning how to drive behind her mother's back although it was illegal because they were just fifteen at that time but she smiled at the great memories she built through the years all of this was their way of breaking the rules and make a voice to be heard by them she was always more of a person who seek for new rumors and talk in the town to share it with others that was her way of  delivering justice to everyone and make sure to bring up the honest words from everybody's mouths , although she was a journalist who shares topics on nearly daily basis she had a lips that were sealed with wax when it came to secrets she was everyones venting buddy so people mostly thinks she didn't have alot of problems because she has all of the answers to every problem there is no problem she didn't solve for anyone, but little did they know she has her own problems that needed to be solved too .
She smiled while she was thinking how different she was apart from her brother yet so similar they both wanted to make a history and honor for their name she started imagining a title in the first page of a newspaper saying the maxwell twin makes it to the top again
She giggled again with the thought of this .
She also started thinking how her brother was smart with resding people and knowing their intentions  and actions even if they were lying and how he can know what she was doing before she came to talk to him by the dirt on her shoes, her smell or even doing spying on her
She laughed she almost doesn't believe how she let him crack into her personal life like this she said to her self in a low voice nearly Whispering : I guess it's a twin thing as how people  used say everyday .
What did you say? Theodor asked curiously .
Nothing i was just talking to myself Theodora said while smiling at her silliness.
Theodor said : what a stupid you are !.
