Fearless

Prologue

I never enjoyed family occasions, such as weddings, the same thing always happens to me at them. I briefly talk to my siblings, my parents, aunties, uncles, cousins etc. everyone asks me the same questions "How are you?" "What's it like in D.C.?" "How is work going for you?" "Do you have a girlfriend?" and I always answer "Fine, thanks" "Good." "Fine." "No." And, of course there is always the extra "No." when my sister Sarah asks if I have a boyfriend. Because, for some reason she thinks I am homosexual. And by the end of the night I end up sitting alone watching my family, which most of are now drunk attempt to dance, have a conversation or sing along with whatever music is playing while all the children are either sleeping or running wild. I thought my younger sister; Rose's wedding would be the same.
