"Well hello there."

The next day at Sarah’s store, Davey showed up hoping to find his sister. He did but he also found a side to his sister he never knew existed. He always knew she loved art but never to this level. It was beautiful. There were some pieces that were happy and bright, however there were others that were dark and cold. But all were very true to his sister. Sarah was towards the back of the shop helping a little girl pick out a piece of art for her new room. Once they left Sarah noticed Davey and headed to the front of the store. 

“Hey. Here let's head over here and talk.”

“Ok. But don’t make this sound like a business meeting,” he said while laughing.

Sarah laughed at that. They walked over to a small table and sat down. Neither of them knew what to say to the other so they just stared at each other for a minute. 

“I’m gonna go first. Sarah I’m so sorry. There were other ways to get into contact with you and I didn’t when I should have and I regret it everyday. I just figured you were like Mom because I
didn’t know. Plus Mom told me if I ever called she would do some crazy stuff and I didn’t want you or Les to get hurt.”  

Sarah had looked at the table until he mentioned their mother. At that her head snapped up to look at her twin. She couldn’t believe it. Davey was threatened by their mom. Sarah knew her mom could be hateful but never to that extent. 

“Davey what did she say? Be truthful.”

He looked down at the table and mumbled something under his breath.

“What did she say David?”

“She told me she would get a restraining order on me.”

Sarah sat back appalled.

“Tell me you're lying. You’re joking. That bi-”

She was fuming. Davey quickly stood up and went over to Sarah. 

“Hey Saz calm down. It’s ok. I’m ok. See? I’m right here. Mom can’t stop me. I’m here with my sister. Just breathe. It’s ok. We are ok.”

She knew they were ok but she was still hurt. It hurt her to know that’s what was told to her brother that split them apart. It wasn’t worth it. They could have seen each other a few years before but because of that it was impossible.

“We’re ok. I- I love you Dave.”

He went and hugged her.

“I love you too Saz.”
