I get that but we've seen a lot of growth in the others relationships from similar positions of not always understanding each other or having grown apart but a month into the race and the sisters still don't seem that comfortable around each other. And every time it's the same conversation of 'we used to be close but now we're not', 'you need to open up more', 'you went off to Italy' etc etc Elizabeth saying 'our relationship is very surface level' was a really strange thing to say about your sister. Letitia is also supposedly the withdrawn one who lacks confidence but comes across very outgoing and bubbly to me, much more so than Elizabeth
