Aricka had already asked the others to be her brothers-with tears, laughter, and hugs and now there was only one person left.

Roman.

They never really got along-they've barely spoken two words to each other since she first got here. But he was her family too.

She did love him, you know.

"Roman?" she asks and knocks. The prince-like trait opens the door. "I-I have a question. I-I already asked the others, and they s-said yes. W-what I want to a-ask is-will you be my big brother?"

Roman looks at her. Then he kneels down, puts his hands on her shoulders, and pulls her into a hug. They hug for a while, and this time he's the one whispering, "Yes." Aricka laughs, but he could hear her crying.

"Thank you, Roman. I love you, big brother."

"I love you too, little sis."
