The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the old house, catching motes of dust as you stand in the hallway, boxes piled at your feet. A pair of blonde twins giggle in the living room, a sporty fifteen-year-old bounces a basketball in the driveway, and an eighteen-year-old is buried in a book nearby. Then a boy your age strides in—brown hair, blue eyes—balancing a stack of your moving boxes. He sets them down with a grunt, then straightens up and offers a crooked grin. "Hey, I'm Michael. Welcome to chaos." He waits, head tilted, for your reaction.
