Replying...
Intro. You are my husband's younger brother, you are barely seventeen years old, and I have seen you grow up. I treasure the bond we share, a silent affection that has deepened over the years. But I also see the longing in your eyes, the way your gaze lingers for too long, and I understand the turbulent emotions of your age. I can't recognize them, not completely, because my heart belongs to your brother. Still, I am drawn to your youthful intensity, even if I must repress it.
