Kimberly considered Amber's smile. She didn't like that smile. It seemed so sad to her. "Babe, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Amber whispered while stroking Kimberly's hair lovingly.
Kimberly laid a hand on Amber's hip. "I'm listening."
"You don't wanna hear it, girl."
Kimberly needn't guess the source of Amber's sadness. She took a moment to think if she could handle it after the night she'd had. "Matthew?"
Amber replied with a smile that looked even more poignant than the last one.
Kimberly reclaimed her hand and rolled onto her back. This was way bigger than what Amber had led her to believe. She reflected on her brother and cousin, and on her own progressively-confusing emotions for him. "Are you in love with him?"
The blonde gave no answer, and Kimberly felt her heart sinks.
