It can't have been easy for their mom, raising two kids on her own after their father left her, but she's done a pretty good job. Mostly. Audrey is just over the cusp of teenhood, and she's starting to be A Teen. She's always been a little proud, a rambunctious tomboy following in the path of her older brother, but now she's got the cocksure assertiveness (and the mixture of high and low self esteem) that comes with puberty.

She's wandering down the hall of their home late at night, coming back from the bathroom, when she sees the light coming from underneath her brother's bedroom door.

She doesn't wait or knock, she just opens it. "Hey, nerd, mom's gonna get mad at you for staying up late again."
