But I’m a grown man now and I’m certainly not going to grovel where I’m not wanted. Except, she’s about to be my step sister. And our families have tricked us into spending the weekend together to “sort this out once and for all.” Can I spend a weekend with her without telling her how I really feel? Not if she doesn’t stop looking at me like that, I can’t. less
