My mom set my sister up with a man who had money, looks, and a top-tier degree. My sister found something wrong with all of it. One day it was that he didn't peel her shrimp at dinner. The next it was that he didn't get her memes and couldn't keep up with her jokes. Even when he drove her home in a Lincoln, she said he was showing off. So after she came back from one more date with him and started in on the complaints again, I asked her, calm as anything, "Do you actually not like Edward Carter?" My sister flipped her long hair back. "Of course not. What's to like? He has some money, that's all." "If you don't want him, can I have him?" Something shifted in her face, but she kept her chin up. "He's a man, not a prize. Take him if you want him." So the next day, when Edward came to pick her up again, I was the one who ran down the stairs first. "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter. My sister doesn't like you. I do."
