Of course, he caught on to me soon enough. At seventeen, I got into his college. I was a freshman; he was a senior. I went to his dorm to find him, and when his roommate asked who I was, he said I was his little sister. So, I started calling him ‘brother’ all the time. One of his roommates had a crush on me and confessed. I asked Morrison what I should do,
