Val did not seem to understand her and Dwin felt disappointed. It was unfair to consider or even ask him to be her therapist, especially since he did not know her at all, still she kind of looked up to him. Exactly the way he had said her younger siblings were looking up to her. As capable of not doing anything wrong. In her case - as him capable of knowing more and everything and making it right. Or simply saying that not liking kids was a perfectly normal thing that happened and she should not feel bad. That she should embrace it.
Instead him trying to twist her quite objective assessment of her attitude towards the kids made her frown. She had learned lately that lying to kids had better results than sticking to the boring truth. But she could not make the same allowances, when it came to her own conscience. She knew she could do better and she knew that she could not for whatever reason. Him telling that she was the best sister there was regardless of the objective facts - was simply refusing to face the truth. Dwin was not good with kids. Period.
"I do not think that you understand," she shrugged, not wishing to go in great details of all the things she could have done better, but had not. She also did not want to delve too deep in the personal matters anymore. Showing someone your vulnerable side was not pleasant. Even if the company was good. "Tell me about your home - what is it like?" she changed the subject of their conversation.
