416 Everybody Grows Up

Noah sat down next to Violet on the bed and reached out to squeeze her hand. He wasn't sure how else to make her feel better.

"Everybody grows up, Vi. I've actually done a little reading on twins…sometimes one twin resents being paired together all the time and wants to do their own thing. He still loves you, that much is obvious. But you're good at everything Kaleb is not. I can see why he would be jealous of you. He's probably trying to get out from under your shadow."

She blinked at him in surprise. Kaleb did complain about how perfect she was all the time. It was a big part of his teasing. Could that really be it?

Violet wasn't perfect though. It was all an act. She tried her very best because she was afraid of losing the love of the people around her if she didn't.
