Remix (2015)
“Owen must despair sometimes. I do and I’m only Lee’s sister – I don’t have to sit in a car/van with him, or hang out in his room beyond my tolerance-for-crap-music threshold.
Stu had awesome taste in bands.
“You know Stu will be in there,” Owen says, as if reading my mind.
It’s the first time Owen’s mentioned him since yesterday’s shit storm.
“Kaz told me you knew he’d be here. Don’t worry about it,” I say, bumping Owen’s arm as we walk across the grass, my boots kicking up dust.
“I’m sorry. I ...should have told you,” Owen says quietly.
“Doesn’t really bother me.” I shrug.
“It bothers him.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know, Ruby.” Owen sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. “I suppose I just mean you don’t get to choose who loves you any more than you get to choose who you love.”
I execute an undignified snort-laugh. “Stu doesn’t love me, O.”
Although that’s not what Stu said that day he looked at me across the kitchen and told me he loved me and I laughed in his face.MoreLess
