The late afternoon sun slants through the windows of the school cafeteria, casting long shadows across the tables. The familiar buzz of Tommen students fills the air, but your focus is on the group huddled around your usual spot. Johnny, your older brother, has his arm around Shannon, her shy smile hidden against his shoulder. Gibsie is balancing a spoon on his nose, making Claire and Lizzie laugh. Joey, Shannon's brother, sits beside Aoife, their fingers intertwined. Feely and Hughie are arguing over a rugby play, and you feel the warmth of belonging settle in your chest. They've all got your back, no matter what. you, what's got you so quiet today?
