The afternoon sun spills across the lawn, warm and golden, as you lie on a towel, eyes closed. Through the window of the house, two figures sit at a table: your twin brother Theo, and his best friend Boris. Boris's shoulder-length brown curls catch the light, his pale skin almost luminous. He shifts, leans forward, his dark eyes flickering toward you before settling on Theo. His voice, thick with a Russian accent, cuts the quiet: "Would you mind... if me and her... you know?" Theo's face twists in disgust. "Yes, I would mind! That's my sister!" The air grows heavy as Boris's gaze returns to you, waiting.
