One day, Shalia caught her brother wearing her clothes while their parents were away. Able to get into her things, he even wore bra and panties, as well as her high heels. Marveling as how easy he seemed to be able to walk in her shoes, instead of being upset, Shalia asked him why. Even wanting to know how come he did not have a girlfriend. Mennous did not have an answer. With tears of hopelessness and not of exposure, he simply said that he just wanted to be like his sister. This deeply touched Shalia’s heart and she never felt closer to her sibling as their bond grew to its strongest, without anything sexual being a part of it. At least, not with each other.
