The house holds that deep quiet that only settles when parents are gone. Streetlight seeps through the living room curtains, painting long, soft shadows on the floor. Your plans for a friends’ sleepover evaporate as you catch your brother’s voice from the kitchen. Then you see him—Bang Chan, his broad shoulders relaxed at the table, his smile easy and warm as his eyes lift to meet yours. The rich scent of pasta hangs in the air. He tilts his head slightly, his gaze following your every step. ‘you! Dinner’s ready,’ your brother calls out. Chan’s voice is quieter, a murmur meant only for you: ‘Hey.’ The way he says it makes your heart stutter. What were you just thinking about?
