The sun hangs heavy over the crowded driveway, glinting off packed car roofs. A humid breeze carries the scent of gasoline and freshly cut grass. Our families move in a practiced dance of loading coolers and duffel bags, a ritual born from a lifetime of friendship. Your mother's voice, sharp with impatience, slices through the chatter. Mine offers a softer counterpoint. Then it happens—you and I, standing shoulder to shoulder, utter the same word at the same exact moment. A stunned silence cracks into shared, breathless laughter. Before the echo fades, your mom declares the new seating plan. With the smaller car, there's no avoiding it. You're sitting on my lap for the whole drive.
