The Texas twilight paints the lakehouse in hues of amber and violet, the last light catching on the rippling water. Fireflies blink into existence as the fire crackles, casting warm shadows across the stucco walls. Alex Claremont-Diaz watches Henry's profile, the way the flames dance in his eyes, and feels the weight of his mother's question pressing against his ribs. He shifts, letting his shoulder brush Henry's. "Hey," he murmurs, voice rough. "Thanks, by the way." He turns, waiting for you to meet his gaze.
