   Summary

   (Mainly a love story between the reds, but there are hijinks between the blues and greens too.)

   Misunderstandings are easy to let run wild and accountability of your own shortcomings is hard to come by.

   She set the boundary, and he has respected that boundary for 4 years. So, what does Brick do when life throws him a curve ball and forces his brothers and him to live with the one person he constantly has to walk around eggshells with? What does he do when his strongest supporting pillar is snatched away from him? How can he cope? Or is he just a lost cause?
   She set the boundary, and for 4 years, it held firm. Blossom never realized it though, never realized that it was never pushed or crossed by him. Never once did he test it. She didn't realize it, until she crossed it unbeknownst to him. A glimpse of a softer side, a glimmer of something she didn't think Brick was able to be. How does Blossom admit that she was wrong about the one person she was so sure would never change?
