This is priceless. I can see a brother-sister relationship filled with carrying and a bit of teasing. Tim responds well to her brother's advice with her own observations and comments. There is a hint that each misses the other and looks forward to their reunion. This reminds me of my kids when my daughter refers to her brother as her best friend.

Thank you! Yep, I pretty much based them on my brother and me (although, I'm the older one).

[riverotter1951]

She is the older one by 2 years.

I loved the "you work with the dead, so there’s not usually a rush, is there?" Made me laugh out loud when I read it :)

Thank you! At the "present", Tim's brother James is the chief coroner with the Space Fleet, and he is generally pretty laid-back :)
