“No, don’t cry, I hate it when you cry.”
Chris feels incredibly childish standing outside his sister’s bedroom door in his pajamas at 1am, but he has to tell somebody. He figures that Katie is the safest bet, as she’s basically obligated to give him a hard time as his older sister, and he’ll take that over getting shit from his friends any day.
Curling his toes in the carpet anxiously, Chris lowers the hand he has set to knock on the door and wipes his clammy palm off on his thigh for the third time. It’s ridiculous, he thinks. He’s done worse things than wake his sister up in the middle of the night. It’s not even like she has anything to do tomorrow morning‒ it’s winter break.
After a couple minutes of shifting his weight awkwardly, his chest uncomfortably tight, he manages to muster up enough nerve to give the door a soft tap before turning the knob. “Katie?” he whispers to the darkness. Chris can hear the sheets rustle as she rolls over in bed, squinting at him in the doorway.

court? Maybe give him space, and let him get in touch with me? I mean,
if it turns out he doesn’t mind that I told his beautiful ex that she’s
a bad parent right before I essentially made his kid cry?“

Email-a-Tree Service Doesn’t Go As Planned in the Best Possible Way – The Atlantic
Melbourne gave their trees ID numbers and email addresses so residents could report downed branches or other problems. Instead, people starting writing their trees love letters.
Sometimes, the trees even write back:
To: Green Leaf Elm, Tree ID 1022165 29 May 2015 Dear Green Leaf Elm, I hope you like living at St. Mary’s. Most of the time I like it too. I have exams coming up and I should be busy studying. You do not have exams because you are a tree. I don’t think that there is much more to talk about as we don’t have a lot in common, you being a tree and such. But I’m glad we’re in this together. Cheers, F”
29 May 2015 Hello F, I do like living here. I hope you do well in your exams. Research has shown that nature can influence the way people learn in a positive way, so I hope I inspire your learning. Best wishes, Green Leaf Elm, Tree ID 1022165
I am so completely charmed by this.
