Image Description:

“Learn to be alone,” he says.

I feel my features contort. That can’t possibly be the solution here. Out of me and my brothers, Charlie would likely flourish in total isolation, but not forever. He’d wish for Beckett, his fraternal twin, to cut through the loneliness. Just like I’d wish for Eliot.

That’s the thing about growing up so close to one brother. Your whole world feels tethered to them in a weird way. Like alongside the existence of air and water is him. Without him, life can’t go on.
