“We should just sell it,” Emily declared, her voice cold and flat. Across the dining table, her brother, Tom, was examining a chipped teacup, a sentimental look on his face that made her want to scream.

She pushed back her chair, the legs screeching against the hardwood floor. The house. The house meant nothing to her. She had a life, a career, a future. Tom had nothing.

"It's just a weight, Tom. A pointless burden." She almost yelled. The quietness of the house made her even angrier. She crossed her arms, a muscle twitching in her jaw. The control Tom had over her was infuriating.
