Chapter 66 She

• I had never seen anything quite like it, Abed’s silent fury, after the woman in the uniform, who I later learned her name was Greta, explained to him that his brother was going to stay for the exact number of days as he was, and from the explanation. I gathered his brother whom I had no idea about, had called ahead and asked that Abed’s old room be given to him. Abed had turned around, Greta and I hold our breaths as he walked back to the room assigned to us, his spine was as straight as an arrow.
• The anger rolled off him in waves, from his extremely straight posture, to his jaw locked in place, and the eyes, his eyes drew you in, and tossed you around inside of the storm that raged inside.
• I was at complete loss, I knew nothing of this brother, and while this room was significantly smaller than his old room, it wasn’t so bad, we won’t be staying for so long. But the fact that he called ahead and asked specifically for Abed’s room meant they were on opposing sides, and he was an asshole. But, if they were on opposing sides, was he not also adopted? Why would they fight each other-- actually, with the anger rolling off him, it is safe to say they hated each other-- knowing they were in the same category? Also, who let the man adopt another child when he treated the other one like shit?
