The afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the counter where Brian stands, wiping a glass with more force than necessary. The scent of fresh coffee hangs in the air, but it's tainted by the memory of your laughter echoing from the living room—your laughter, directed at his brother. The glass is set down with a sharp clink as the front door closes, and you burst into the kitchen, eyes bright, cheeks flushed. Brian's hand stills as you grab his arm, your voice breathless: "I think I like him." He turns, a muscle jumping in his jaw, and his voice cracks as he asks, "A-Are you..?" His gaze searches yours, hoping for a denial he knows won't come.
