A brother stands up for Cassie
My brother appeared to waver, but eventually supported Cassie, saying I must have misread her. He appeared conflicted, but then shook his head, as if to clear his mind. Olivia, you are overreacting. Cassie wouldn’t do that, he continued, his voice firm but hesitant. His remarks felt like a blow to the face. I couldn’t believe he was supporting her despite everything. ‘You’ll see, Olivia,’ he said, seeking to terminate the topic.
