"What's wrong?" Trisha inquired when she noticed the sad look on Audrey's face.
She forced a smile. "Nothing, I'm fine." They were curled up on the couch with popcorn and sodas, watching another "chick flick."
"Yeah, right. You've had that look all night."
"What look?"
"Like somebody ran over your dog."
Audrey laughed. Her sister might have been an eighteen year-old senior but she was insightful. It was a trait all the women in their family had. "Trust me, I don't think you want to get involved in my drama."
Trisha paused the movie. "Try me."
"Fine," she replied and sat up. "Don and I had too much to drink last night and we had sex, and when I woke up this morning I noticed we hadn't used a condom. I kind of freaked out. I, of course, wanted to talk to him about and when I did he all of a sudden told me he loved me."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"So, you could be carrying Don's baby right now?"
"Oh God, Trish, I really didn't need that."
"Sorry. So, I guess you didn't tell Don you love him too?"
"No."
"Why not?"
Audrey stared at the floor for a second. "I guess because I'm not really sure if I love him."
"But, you guys have known each other forever and neither of you have had real serious relationships. I just always figured it was because you guys had each other."
"I've just never really thought of him in that way. I mean, we did have sex one other time, but it was a long time ago and we were more drunk than last night."
"You're my sister and I love you, but you can be pretty dense sometimes. I know Don has loved you forever, and I know you love him too; you just have to admit it to yourself and him."
Audrey looked at her sister and smiled. "When did you do all this growing up?"
"I guess when you weren't looking."
