He sat sulking, eyes straying to the clock, waiting his turn at the TV. He could hear the endless Barbie movie in the next

Would the brother call him bhai as sweetly as she did? Would he
make silly faces till he laughed after mum yelled at him? Would he hold his
hand at the movies, even though he wouldn’t admit he was scared?
