You set the story up well with a good descriptive setting, and details of your relationship with your cousin so that we could understand the context. Sadly we then do not get to hear any details about the bad habits that she had supposedly picked up, what happened to your cousin when you left, or to the relationships between her and you, and her and her mother, as a result of the introduced conflicts. It was nicely written but left me wanting a little in respect of story development.
Thank you for writing in The Ink Well. We enjoy your submissions.
