as The Twins pull free
and run toward me.
When they don’t stop,
T calls after them: “Remember,
you can’t jump on him.”
“Okay,” The Twins agree in unison
as they race in my direction.
“Get ready to meet my cousins.”
I beam at Matt.
“I’m ready!”
Matt beams back.
I feel love rush toward us.
My cousins about to meet
my best friend and crush.
The Twins halt in front of us,
side by side.
“You’re Matt!” Olivia says.
“That’s right!” Matt laughs.
“Who told you that?”
Olivia points back at T and Jyoti.
T puts an arm around Jyoti
and nuzzles at her neck.
“Matt?” Olivia begins.
“Yes?” Matt responds.
“Do you know our names?” she asks.
“Olivia and Sophia,” he says proudly,
as if he’s passed an important test.
“Do you know
who is Olivia and
who is Sophia?”
