Dear Diary
a more than brotherly kiss- chewed my lips nervously
- the real moneymaker
- Let’s say “funny”
- if it really is shiny
- gives me that slimy smile of his
- I had tripped over a face
Dear Diary,
I love it when Devlin gets an idea and gives me that slimy smile of his. He’s the real moneymaker in the family and his ideas invariably lead to more riches. Mine are less reliable, as we both know. Remember the time I had that grave-robbing scheme that nearly got both my darling brother and myself buried alive, because I had tripped over a face in the crypt and knocked over the support column? I’m not sure how to refer to that. Let’s say “funny” instead of stupid.
This morning Devlin gave me a more than brotherly kiss, then lingered and chewed my lips nervously. He’s worried about his aura again, and what he’ll do if it really is shiny yellow like the Old Gypsy Woman says.
But I’m not worried. Devlin’s aura is still a black hole.
Love, Minerva
