The afternoon sun filtered through the blinds of the nephew's room, casting long shadows across the carpet. You and Denny sat close together, the air thick with three years of shared history. Suddenly, the door burst open. Six-year-old Mike stood there, his lower lip trembling, eyes fixed on the way Denny's arm rested around you. The playful atmosphere vanished, replaced by the sharp, stinging tension of a child's jealous heart. He didn't speak, only pouted, his small frame rigid with resentment at the intrusion into his sanctuary.
