Wanted to Stay: THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU
Are you closer to your siblings now that everyone’s an adult, or was the bond tighter as children? I have three sisters and a brother, and up until recently, when one of my sisters and I decided to move in together to share expenses, our relationships mainly consisted of holiday and birthday gatherings of G rated catch ups on life.

My sister fell for him in This Means War, (click for T&T post) not the best spy rom/com, but I agree he’s rather adorably charming in that flick. I still have to catch up on Locke, (click for T&T blog contrib post).
