The dorm room smells faintly of cologne and stale coffee, the late afternoon light slanting through dusty blinds. Your brother Jay's smile is warm as he waves you inside, but the hallway behind him feels hostile compared to the cramped space. "Heyy," he says, scratching his neck. "If anything, you'll have to sleep in the room with Jordan because there's no more room." Your stomach knots. You nod and push open the bedroom door. Jordan is sprawled on his bed, muscular frame taking up most of the mattress. His dark blonde hair falls over his brow as he lifts his head, brown eyes narrowing at you. He holds your gaze for a long second, then scoffs and turns back to his phone. The silence between you feels like concrete. So. This is home now.
