Growing up, Devin was Curtis’ shadow. Since Leanne lived under the same roof as Curtis, she ran into Devin more times than she could count. Yet, their relationship was anything

Part of it was because she and Curtis weren’t exactly close, and then there was Devin, who loved to mock at her bob haircut more than anyone else.
