#boundary-issues

We bought a house in a trendy area near the city centre, and our home has become like a party base for the girls at the weekends. One has just become engaged and our kitchen is like a Pentagon conference room most Sundays. The table is filled with charts and brochures, and there's constant chat about the logistics of overseas guests and the politics of who is invited and who isn't.

For some godforsaken reason, my twin sister has decided that some 50-year-old sad sack, less than a year into his divorce, is her new soulmate. His oldest child is less than seven years apart from us in age. He left his wife of 25 years because he was "afraid of not living." He just is begging fate to be 20 again.
