Dan felt quite awkward, he had hoped to have a little private time with his sister, mostly to work on chemistry but also to get a little privacy to talk and for Dan to at least work out his tension.<br/>Now his dad was here and Dan knew his elder sister was much more interested in spending time with their father than listening to her little brother avoid the elephant in the room.<br/>“I was just asking Katharine about a little dilemma I was having, its nothing serious any more,” he said hoping that Katharine wouldn’t expose his slight omission on rule 2. “I’m having trouble with Chemistry and she had offered to help,” he added truthfully<br/>He stopped and watched the two of them cuddle, on one level their affection was quite clear and touching but Dan wondered if maybe he should approach his sister a little later this afternoon rather than stand around being the unexpected third wheel.<br/>In his own mind he briefly wondered why his sister had seemed sad when he’d put off her offer, he knew she didn’t have the hyper libido that he, and he suspected his twin, had inherited from their mother but perhaps his feelings about pearl necklaces were just relationship baggage after all.<br/>
