In her root life her brother did A-levels and applied to go to Manchester to do History, but he never got the grades he needed,
probably because he was too busy getting stoned with Ravi every night.
And then decided he didn’t want to go to uni at all.
They chatted a bit more. At one point he became distracted by his phone.
Nora noticed his screensaver was of a radiant, handsome, smiling man she had never seen before.
She noticed her brother’s wedding ring and feigned a neutral expression.
“So, how’s married life?” Joe smiled. It was a genuinely happy smile.
She hadn’t seen him smile like that for years. In her root life, Joe had always been unlucky in love.
Although she had known her brother was gay since he was a teenager, he hadn’t officially come out until he was twenty-two.
And he’d never had a happy or long-term relationship.
She felt guilt, that her life had the power to shape her brother’s life in such meaningful ways.
“Oh, you know Ewan. Ewan’s Ewan.” Nora smiled back as if she knew who Ewan was and exactly what he was like.
