basically, she was in a relationship with his brother (donnie) and another man before he passed away this past september. she's still mourning with her other partner but i was thinking it might be cool to bring in a family member into the mix. i figure we could even say she was close with him before she was introduced to donnie, maybe even had potential to be something more but it never was. i'm down for any range of how he feels toward her, now that his brother is gone - resentment or protectiveness or anger or whatever. the big details are vague but that's the idea.
