My brother Paul and I haven't had much luck in the love department. We both were engaged at on time only to have the other person back out. It has been so frustrating. Paul had stopped by my apartment one Saturday. We started hitting the alcohol.
"You know Elaine, you and I must be cursed, considering how bad our love lives are."
I had to agree with my brother. Things weren't looking good these day. Paul came over and sat next to me on my sofa. We poured two glasses of scotch and clinked glasses. That bourbon went down smooth. Paul set his glass down. He wrapped his arm around my neck.
"What do you think we should do?" He asked me.
I was feeling a bit weak right then. My brother was a handsome guy. It would be easy to fall for him.
"Maybe we should tie the knot," I said to him.
He began to laugh when I told him that.
