(Link in bio.) 🦋 This story means an incredible amount to me, because while it appears to be about insectoid aliens colonizing Earth, couched in a delicious British meal plan, at its heart is a story about sisters. The sisters we choose, or don’t. 🦋 I grew up with three siblings, two of them sisters. One older, one younger. And there’s no bond quite like it. There’s no pleasure quite the same as finding a kindred heart right in your own home. Having someone to make memories with, having someone to look back on them with, someone who you know will still be there when high school and college and careers are over, when children move out of the house, and there’s nothing left but a few old biddies drying lavender from the rafters in their home by the sea. Shared lives. Shared joys. Shared trauma. And there is no pain that hits at the same sharp angle when that bond fractures, or groans under the strain of comparison, jealousy, and judgement. 🦋 This story is for you, Heidi and Emily. My sisters. 🦋$

Having a moment with some fishy friends—with the cry of seagulls and the laughter of shipmates in my ears.
