Minor matter, I wouldn't have a comma after 'brother'. Otherwise very deep emotion. -

^-^ Thank you! But the contest says only one sentence.

HAH!
Your "author note" cracked me up.
This is so great. This, I think, is the most successful of all the one-sentence stories I've read. It totally encapsulates an entire plot into one sentence that is actually as satisfying as a lengthy story.
Excellent job with this. I'm really impressed. -

Wow, that's cool. I had her in a small, sort of run-down house with a hurricane outside, carrying the smell of brine.
