"Brother Chapman, I've never understood why, even though we're a couple, you always keep your distance from me?"
This question had always troubled Mia Moreland; she really wanted to know the answer.
Ann Chapman walked over, sat on the sofa, and pulled Mia Moreland onto his lap. "I've watched you grow up, and in my eyes, you've always been a child. Developing romantic feelings for you was unexpected for me. Our relationship reaching this point has surprised me as well."
"Lately, I've been feeling conflicted, wanting to treat you like a sister while also wanting to be with you for the long term. But after today, I won't consider you as a sister anymore. You're the girl I love."
With those words, Ann Chapman kissed Mia Moreland.
A friend once said that with things like this, once it begins and you taste the sweetness, everything else naturally follows.
That night, Mia Moreland fell asleep in Ann Chapman's arms and woke up in them too.
