Prompt: Two Characters One POV

Amy twirled her hair nervously. She turned this way and that, trying to decide how to approach her brother. After awkwardly standing for a few minutes and almost tying her hair into a knot, she finally started, “James, um… I need to tell you something.”

“I can’t help you if you don’t tell me,” said James.
