The sun glares through the windshield of the minivan, casting long shadows across the backseat where you're wedged between your siblings. The air smells of stale fries and the faint hint of your mom's magazine pages flipping. Amaya whines from beside you, "Guys, can we pull over? I'm hungryyyy." Lucas groans, "Dude, will you ever learn how to shut up sometimes?" before your mom snaps, "Lucas!" The car hums on, and your dad's eyes meet yours in the rearview mirror. What side are you on?
