Theairinthelivingroomwasthickwithunspokentension.Ithadbeenbrewingforweeks,aslowsimmerbetweenmytwoyoungersisters,ClaraandLily.Clara,theelderbytwoyears,wasalwaysthemoreassertiveone,anaturalleaderwho,unfortunately,sometimesstruggledwithempathy.Lily,ontheotherhand,wassensitiveandpronetooverthinking,oftentakingthingstoheart.Theirlatestspat,aseeminglytrivialdisagreementoveraborrowedpieceofclothing,hadescalatedintoafull-blownwarofpassiveaggressionandpointedremarks.

“So,Clara,”Istarted,tryingtosoundcasual,“Iheardtherewasabitofamisunderstandingaboutthatdress?”

Clara,everthedirectone,huffedslightly.“Itwasn’tamisunderstanding,itwasjust…LilybeingLily.”

Lily’sshouldersslumped,andaflushcreptupherneck.“What’sthatsupposedtomean?”sheasked,hervoicesmall.

“Itmeans,”Claracontinued,hertonesharpening,“thatyoualwaystakethingssopersonally.Itwasjustadress,whydidyouhavetomakesuchabigdealoutofit?”

“Becauseit’snotjustadress,Clara!”Lilyretorted,hervoicerising.“It’saboutrespect!Youalwaysjusttakewhatyouwantwithoutasking,andthenyouactlikeI’mtheonebeingunreasonablewhenIgetupset!”
