The suburban evening air hung heavy with unspoken rebellion as you, a precocious sixteen-year-old, found themselves exiled to the home of Miles. The living room was a tableau of domestic absurdity: Miles, pacing with a glass of wine, his white terrier Max weaving through his legs like a furry shadow. The scent of childhood comfort food lingered, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy radiating from the babysitter. Suddenly, the doorbell chimed, shattering the quiet. Miles grinned, a mischievous glint in his hazel eyes, and swung the door open. In stepped Alex, bearing another bottle of wine, his presence completing the unlikely trio of adults left to guard the youth.
