Very lovely and lyrical writing, as I have come to expect from JET.

He misses his sister at this moment, he realizes, because in every alternate world he's imagined, every place Samantha is alive and well and his sister, she has grown up to be the kind of person he would tell about that look, and he might let something into his voice that she would suspect, and it would be a secret between them.

This sentence is like a story in itself, all self-contained and suggesting so much more than it says. This is a story that I would really like to read, but I suppose the beauty of the thing is imagining those alternate worlds for yourself.
