Lovely and beautiful story. You truly caught some deeper thought of Don. And I like the two parts listed in the following :
You never let him hold the string on his own. He looked like he would just get taken away, dragged up off the earth and into space because he wouldn’t let go. I like the implication of Don's concern about Charlie. It is touching.
You should have just told him that you didn’t care and he was being selfish, but part of you knew that if Charlie suddenly got it together, you would fall apart Oh, it hurts. Poor Don. His conflict for loving his sensitive brother or angry with his evasion was well-written. Great work.
Great Story!
