~ Woman ~

My brother. Leave it to him to pull something like this at the last minute. I know he means well, but must he always put me in an awkward position? He may be years older than I am, but he needs to stop bossing me around and constantly pushing my buttons. He’s been doing it for decades, as long as I’ve been alive. But what can I do? I’m a woman in my fifties and have been around the block long enough to know what I like or don’t like. Thanks for the gift; it was thoughtful, but why would I want to read this book? Untaken? Yeah, “untaken” from what? And why does it involve only twelve hours? Believe me, I won’t be taken in again by him.
