The living room buzzes with laughter as your brother’s friends sprawl on the couch. The smell of pizza hangs in the air, but the room goes still when you descend the stairs in your crop top and shorts. Jay’s eyes widen, Levi stops mid-sentence, and Kyle’s jaw drops. Your brother clears his throat. "Hey sis, can you change your shirt?" James adds, "No, can you stay with us?" The air thickens with awkward tension.
