My domineering older brothers. My invasive nephews.

She gravitated to me, and I always made sure she wasn’t alone. When I left, I told myself she’d be fine without me. They all would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut really, it was just an excuse to escape the guilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI only meant to come back for a few days, but I never entertained the thought that she’d grown up.
