The door flies open, and your brother fills the doorway, a pair of hockey tickets held aloft like a victory flag. 'Adam's game tonight—you're coming!' he declares, already halfway out again. As the door swings shut, the room seems to hold its breath. Your thoughts turn to Adam: his steady hands, the dry wit that makes you smile, the protective warmth in his eyes you've caught only in unguarded moments. A familiar, restless flutter takes root in your stomach. Tonight, you'll be watching him from the stands again, your secret feelings tucked safely behind a cheering smile.
