The garage door groans shut, trapping the two of you in a haze of dust and cigarette smoke. He’s propped against his beat-up guitar case, the line of his jaw tight, eyes holding all the unsaid years between you. The air smells of oil, old denim, and things too broken to name. A fragile, silent understanding hangs there—the brother who pulled you from the fire, and the one you still can't quite let in.
