I'm an asshole

[porter_inc]

I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I broke down and told Mom about the woman who wrote me claiming to be the product of Tobias's first marriage. I showed her the letter, then she went into her room and hasn't come out since. The door's locked and when I knock on it, she just tells me she needs a moment alone.

I called Ann and Helene to come over, but they were both busy. I was going to call some of her other friends, but I don't know if they know about Dad's first marriage. So, I called Pete. He's on his way.

Update: She let Pete in there to talk to her, but he locked the door behind him. At least I know she'll be okay if he's in there with her, but what kind of damage have I done?

I'm glad that she's nice to you now but that whole thing sounds like a hard adjustment for everyone involved.

I ain't going to lie, it was hard. It's still hard.

But if you make it work, it's great. It's worth it, all that hard work. At least in my case it was.

The most important thing is to not force it, man. Don't force yourself if you're not ready.

If it turns out that she's my sister and she's half as great as you are, I'll consider us very lucky.

Thanks, Will. That's really nice of you. And, you know, if she is your sister she's going to have one hell of a brother.

Best of luck. Let me know if you need anything.
