Life With A Flirty Step-sister -final- -completed- -

She was quiet for a long time. Then she smiled—not the flirty smirk, but the real one, the one she hides from everyone else. “The other part is just me wishing we’d met differently. In another life. But we didn’t. So I’ll take this one. Brother.”
