I loved your story, Queenie! I loved the scenes you chose and the characterizations. Claude's mumbled apology was priceless. I also love that you ended it just when you did. My psychology-geek daughter tells me that in a situation like this a romantic relationship wouldn't develop, even if they found out that they were biologically unrelated, because they are socially and psychologically siblings. Apparently we humans are designed *not* to fall in love with the people we're raised with. Of course, they're not really human, but psychologically I think they are.
Two thumbs way up!
