Brotherhood Quote by Kristen Proby

“I love your family, and I owe them a lot. Your brothers are my brothers. Gabby and Charly are my sisters, or as close as possible without actually sharing DNA. “But I don’t have those same feelings about you, Van. I don’t feel brotherly at all with you.” quote by Kristen Proby
