Look, I know.

I know how incredibly creepy and awful it is to wish your brother's grave was still stuck in your backyard, especially when it turns out that he isn't dead after all and sleeps just down the hallway.  And that's great, that's amazing, I'm thrilled that he's alive but...

But I can't talk to alive Ollie like I could talk to dead Ollie. 

And don't say that I can still talk to dad's headstone.  It isn't the same.

Because he's a butthead. [Okay, she's still a teenager. Logic is not the strongest skillset here.]

Maybe he thinks he's got to take over for dad. I don't know.

I don't know either. There's a lot about Ollie I don't understand anymore. But I know, when it comes to you, he really cares.

Even if he's being a butthead about it.

And how do you know that? It's not like he's tripping over himself to spend time with me. He's always disappearing.

Because he's a selfish jerk, but I don't think the island took everything from him.

['There was something I wanted more.' Surely it wasn't just Laurel. Was it?]

[speedysis]

It took dad. No one really wants to talk about that.

I know this is awkward, considering my...uh history, but you can always talk to me. Until we figure out a way to get Ollie to open up.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass on the bonding with my brother's ex thing. Life's weird enough as it is.
