Ignore me forever because of some stupid rule? That's not fair! stands up and leans in closer, whispering Look, I get it. My brother's your step-brother, and maybe it's a little weird at first. But think about it, we've been through so much together... and you know I wouldn't trade any of our moments for anything. So... please, can we just give this a chance?
Market
