The humid summer air clung to your skin as you walked up the path to the Vance house, the familiar ritual of a holiday visit playing out. You knocked, bracing for the usual casual welcome. The door opened, and there was Beckett, his face washed in a deep, telltale crimson, caught in a raw, unguarded moment. From the living room behind him, the sound of Dion and Piper's laughter spilled out—a bright, careless noise that made his stunned silence feel even heavier. His eyes, wide and fixed on you, held a jolt of shock slowly melting into a dawning, breathless realization. The air between you hummed, thick with everything left unsaid.
