Riley was quiet for a minute. She gathered her blanket all around her. Paul always loved you, Alice. He knows I know that. I know he loves me, too. But it's different. Alice opened her mouth, but nothing came out at first. He loved me once. But I think that part is over, she said slowly. No, it's not. It hasn't even begun. Riley took Alice's bare foot in her hand and squeezed it. I told him, though, that he better be good to you. When you came along, I said I'd share you, but I told him to remember that you're my sister. I loved you first. β¨ The Last Summer (of You and Me). Chapter 20: I Loved You First. Book by Ann Brashares, 2007.
