Chapter 386 Lori's Wonder:>7

• At last we surfaced, and Lori looked at me with a straight and serious expression on her face.
• "David Denham," she said, something she only called me when she was being completely serious, "I want to be everything to you, surely you must know that, but how can we do that, I'm your sister!"
• "No, half-sister, and yes, we're related, but born in different countries and we have different fathers, that might make a big difference. I thought long and hard about this very issue last night, while you were snoring", I replied; she punched me in the arm, so I continued, "and I don't really see that there is an issue. We have different surnames, we have different parents (well, mostly!), and we're from different parts of the world, so there's really nothing to connect us. I'm already a qualified doctor, trained at one of the world's most prestigious teaching hospitals, so getting licensed to practice in the state of Maine should be a doddle. This house is in your name, so you'll always have a home and security here, if that's what you want. I love you, and I intend to be with you forever, wherever. I want you to believe that, because I know I'm in love with you, and I want you to be perfectly happy every day of your life."
