“Did you say you want to go home, big sister?” The young man lowered his eyes and chuckled. His fingertips wound around a strand of her hair and gently stroked it; his pinky brushed the side of her neck as if by accident. The obsession churning in his eyes could almost burn her alive. “But this is your home.”

“I can give him one more chance.” She set the celadon teacup down hard on the table. A few drops of tea splashed onto the back of her pale hand.

A broken sob escaped his throat; at last, panic seized him. “Big sister, are you going to abandon me?” His knees buckled, and he nearly fell to the ground.
