Claudia hadn't meant to lecture him. She was just hurt and a little confused. About Matty, about him, about the whole situation. She remembered times she'd teased him about being happy, when he'd given her vague answers about there being somebody and she couldn't help it. It hurt that he hadn't trusted her enough to tell her who.
She let it drop, though, because it didn't matter why he hadn't told her, did it? What was important was that he was talking to her now and she was going to listen.
"Is it the same way you care for Sam?" she asked, curious. Claudia was hardly an expert when it came to love or relationships, but that didn't mean she didn't notice things about her brother. Like how he and Sam had been practically inseparable when they were all in school together.
