The Other Half of Me (2007)
“My pace was faster, my smile wider, my thoughts scattered with the buzz of liking someone who likes me back—and getting to know Alexa.
Every time we talk, I become more and more comfortable thinking of her as my real, true sister, even though I’m aware that Alexa and I share only as many genes as I do with Sierra, Sage, and Russ. Somehow the fact that we found each other in the way we did seems to mean more to me. It’s hard to explain.
I’ve been sitting here with Tate for a few hours, trying to... do just that, and he’s been patiently listening to me ramble, never interrupting. I’m beginning to think he doesn’t have any flaws, even though rationally I know it’s impossible. I fiddle with my newly purchased cell phone, then rest it in my lap.
“So, what do you like most about her?” Tate offers a lick of his maple vanilla cone as we lounge on the stone rim of the enoromous fountain in the middle of town. The statue in the center is a child riding a dolphin, the waves splashing but motionless around her.MoreLess
