“May I have another slice of pizza?” asked TJ “What do you say?” asked Daddy “Please?” asked TJ
Christian felt confused and a little scared. He loved his sister, but this new information made him wonder if things would change. " - Does this mean Sarah's not really my sister?" he asked. His mom replied, " - Family is about love, not just about blood." But Christian couldn't shake off the feeling that something was different. He wanted things to stay the same.
As days passed, Christian noticed his sister acting differently. She seemed quieter and distant. Christian tried to talk to her, but she shrugged him off. " - Is everything okay, Sarah?" he asked. " - I'm fine," she said, avoiding his eyes. Christian felt helpless and more determined to fix things, but he didn’t know how.
Christian felt overwhelmed and thought about giving up. Maybe he should just accept things as they are. " - Maybe Sarah doesn't want to be my sister anymore," he muttered sadly. He avoided talking about the issue, hoping it would go away. But the feeling of unease lingered in his heart. He missed the way things used to be.
One evening, Christian’s mom sat down next to him. " - You know, Christian, sometimes we all struggle with changes," she said softly. She explained that Sarah might need some time to process things. " - But she loves you just as much," she added. Christian realized that being honest with Sarah might help. " - I should talk to her," he decided.
With newfound courage, Christian approached Sarah. " - I miss playing with you," he confessed. Sarah looked at him and smiled. " - I miss you too," she admitted. They hugged, and Christian felt a wave of relief wash over him. " - We are family, no matter what," he whispered, understanding that honesty and love were the keys to their bond.
