He had woken up early , knowing Elaine would return today .
He had even fed joy and brought the dog downstairs , understanding Elaine might not want to see any of her brothers but she would undoubtedly want to see Joy .
Joy had become his one small act of selfishness .
Biancas smile faltered , becoming slightly strained .
Never in her life had she imagined Tucker , who had always been so patient and kind , would one day speak to her with such indifference .

Havent you learned anything from all thats happened ? From all the misunderstanding Banca lifted her tear streaked fact , her voice barely above a whisper .
Tucker are you saying you dont consider me your sister anymore ? Tuckers response was simple .
From now on , Im just Elaines brother .
Banca had countless people who loved her , but Elaine had always been alone Tucker did expect Elaine to forgive him , but from this day forward , he was determined to fulfill his duty as her brother .
Without another word , he walked away from Bianca and toward Elaine .
Tucker cutting declaration shuttered what Intle composure Bianca had left .
