You do know... [ she says softly, delicately ] ...that my brother is thirty, right? [ she looks julie squarely in the eyes. ] He told you, right?
[ there are layers and layers to that last question, because of course the hargreeves aren't good with talking about complicated relationship issues. what allison wants to know is: was julie coerced? is this relationship healthy?
and what will allison do, if it's unhealthy, and that's her brother's fault? ]
