Was it hard for your older brother since you and Shane always had each other?

Sean

Yeah probably sometimes. Our parents are adamant Shane and I are two separate people with two separate identities. So in some ways we’re just three typical brothers. I feel as emotionally connected to Finn as I do Shane. But Shane and I are basically still molecularly connected. I can’t explain it. We have our own personalities that’s for sure but at the same time I am him and he’s me. We just know stuff we never have to articulate.

Me

That’s really cool. And it’s nice to hear you’re just as close to Finn. I still think it must have been hard for him at times.

Sean

It was for sure. Cormac and Seamus are only seven months apart because Seamus was a preemie.

Me

No way. You’d never guess he was ever tiny. I guess I would have assumed they were both 10lbs babies.

Sean

No not at all. Seamus was like a little over 4lbs. He was ginormous for a preemie at 31 weeks. But Cormac was like Dillan and Finn. Just over 9lbs.

Me

Were you and Shane tiny too.

Sean

God bless our mother. No. Not even remotely. She even went to her due date. We were both exactly 7lbs 8ozs.

That’s crazy. Their size as twins but also they were exactly the same. What are the odds of that? That was fifteen pounds of baby. And that was after having a nine-something-pound baby a couple years earlier. I wonder if the woman is still exhausted. I am just thinking about it.

Sean

Hey. I gotta go. I wish I didn’t have to but I’m glad we chatted. I still have stuff to do, but as soon as I’m done I can come to Boston.

Me

I want to see you as soon as you’re free. But coming here isn’t a good idea. Ewan didn’t accuse me of anything exactly. But he definitely knows.

Sean

What did he say exactly?

Can you feel rage through a text? I’m pretty sure I can.

Me

Fucking Sean O’Rourke.

Sean

That’s it?

Me

He also said that I could have stayed home if all I wanted was to bang.

Sean
