When Alex finally appeared on the screen, Sam’s heart stuttered in her chest. Could she have possibly forgotten how beautiful Alex was? She wanted to get on the first plane to LA right now.

“What took you so long? Were you on the toilet or something?” Sam asked with a smile.

“No, I was in the kitchen. How’s Vancouver?”

“It’s good. How’s Pasadena?”

“Good.”

Lenna and Sophia appeared on the couch behind Alex.

“Hi, Sam.”

“Hey, Sam.”

“Hi guys, how’s it going?”

Lenna leaned forward. “It’s going, it’s going. When you getting back into town? ’Cause quite frankly,” she pointed at Alex, “this one is driving us nuts.”

Alex shoved her. “Shut up.” She stood and moved away from them.

Sam laughed. Embarrassed Alex was adorable. “Wait, put Lenna back on. I wanna know what you’re doing to drive them nuts.”

Lenna didn’t need any further prompting. She looped an arm around Alex’s neck, putting her into a choke hold. “She’s been moping around for the last four weeks. It’s pretty pathetic.”

Alex tried to pry herself loose. “You’re gonna die, ’cause I’m gonna kill you.”

“Oh please, you can’t take me. You never could.”

Straining bodies obstructed Sam’s view. “I can’t see.”

Sophia snatched the phone. “Hi, Sam. We’ll let them get this out of their system. Sometimes they act like little boys. If you ignore them, they eventually stop.”

“Well I wanna watch, because this is the highlight of my boring day.”

“Tell her she’s coming to Thanksgiving!” Lenna cackled.

“Shut the hell up. What is wrong with you?”

Sam frowned. “What did she say about Thanksgiving?”

“Don’t mind them,” Sophia said. “This is a classic case of sibling rivalry. The oldest tries to maintain a level of dominance over the youngest. The same thing happens in the animal world. In this instance, Lenna has always been Alpha, so she feels the need to exert control over the pack.”

Sam appreciated the psychological implications of sibling rivalry but was much more interested in fight club. “What are they doing now?”

Sophia pointed the phone at the floor. Lenna had Alex pinned face down and was twisting her arm behind her back.

“Jesus Christ, you’re gonna break my arm,” Alex whined.

“Honey, don’t break her arm.”

“Yeah, Lenna. Please don’t break her arm,” Sam said.

Lenna released Alex and pointed a finger in her face. “You’re lucky she likes you.”

Alex winced and rolled over onto her back. “I think you’re gaining weight.”

Lenna plopped back down on Alex’s stomach, knocking the wind out of her.

“Okay, enough,” Sophia said. “Somebody’s gonna get hurt.”

Alex saved face at the end by flipping Lenna off and rolling on top of her. “Ha!”

“May I remind you that you’re forty and you’re thirty, and we have a guest here, so please kiss and make up.”

They both got to their feet and glowered at each other.

“That was fun. What are we gonna do now?” Sam asked.

“We’re gonna let you two talk,” Sophia said. “Say goodbye, Lenna.”

Lenna grinned. “Bye, Sam. Don’t be such a stranger.”

Alex seized the phone and headed upstairs, where she collapsed into bed.

“Way to come back at the end. How’s your arm?” Sam asked.
