Thy Sister's Keeper

by MHC1987

James' sister Nell decides to start her own business, to her brother's dismay. Does Nell know anything about running a business? Will this strain brother - sister bonds to breaking point? Maybe a couple of friends can help mend and maintain the siblings' familial bonds. I don't own the characters. I just like to help prolong the enjoyment of the series.

"But Laura, it puts me in a bad position. It sandwiches me between James and Nell, potentially." Robbie pleaded with Laura.

"Robbie, that's ridiculous, you know no such thing. It may help to improve their sibling relationship. You're great at relationship building, please Robbie." Laura pleaded.

Robbie looked at Laura's sweet smile and her lovely blue eyes and he had to give in to her. Very well, he did not "have" to give in to her. But she might choose to withhold her cooking, her warmth and affection and other things if he did not at least try what she wanted him to do.

Laura called Nell excitedly to let her know that she and Robbie were going to come up to her place and see what she had planned for her parent's home, which she'd inherited. James gladly gave her his half of the real estate in heritance.

Robbie chose to text James. Not so much the coward's way out, as it provided James an opportunity to select his word choice with care when responding to Robbie's text. The text informed James that Laura and Robbie would being going to Nell's over the weekend to see what she had planned for the house.

James did get Robbie's message and responded in a way that Robbie did not expect "Great, that sounds like fun. Think I'll join you and Laura at Nell's. What time shall I meet you two there?"
