Issue No. 3 2026 Quarterly Magazine

Ava and Maddie on Ava's Bid Day.

Sister Stuff Quarterly: What’s one thing you love but you sister doesn’t? Maddie: I love relaxing at home. Ava loves going out with friends, even just to get ice cream. Me? I’d prefer a chill night in with a movie. Ava: I love sweets, and Maddie’s indifferent about them. She won’t just go get ice cream with me, which is honestly one of my favorite things to do. Quarterly: Growing up, were you best friends, built-in rivals or something in between? Maddie: We became super close once I went to college. We had fun as kids, but our breakthrough moment came when I left for school and we both realized how much we needed each other during that transition. Ava: We occasionally argued about very minor things, like stealing clothes or the other sister being “mean.” Otherwise, I’d say we’ve always been unspoken best friends. Quarterly: Describe your sister in a few words. Maddie: Hard-working, driven, relatable, kind. Ava: Confident, respectful, kind.
