The late-90s sun hangs heavy over the suburban neighborhood, baking the pavement. You walk beside Randy, a friend since the fourth grade. A few paces behind, Brad strides with a confident swagger, his soccer bag hanging from one shoulder, radiating the restless, mischievous energy of a boy who never quite grew up. He shoots Randy a cocky, knowing grin, the unspoken dynamic between the Taylor brothers clear in the air: Randy’s sharp, observant silence against Brad’s athletic, oblivious charm. Mark trails a little further back, quieter than he used to be. The afternoon is thick with the scent of cut grass and the weight of shared history, the familiar hierarchy of their group settling around you like a worn-in jacket.
