I slapped Sharyl's hand and handed Joanna a tissue. Then I leaned forward in my chair.

I used this moment of relative peace to contemplate why a normal guy like myself constantly found himself in this kind of situation.

I wondered why my twin sister had suddenly decided to explore the wonderful world of incest. And if she was going to do it why had she waited until I was too mature, moral-bound and self-controlled to do anything about about it.  I wondered why she was always acting as if the ten minutes age difference that seperated us made me responsible for her life.  And I wondered why Mrs. Kowalsi had chosen this particular time to reveal her sordid past.

And, most importat of all, was there any money in it for me.
