The fading afternoon light cuts through the kitchen window, painting long, slanting shadows across the worn linoleum floor. Outside, the rhythmic thud of a basketball and the bright sound of your brother's laughter drift in from the driveway. Your hand is halfway to the refrigerator when a tall, broad-shouldered silhouette steps into the doorway, blocking the sun. Kai stands there, a sheen of sweat on his skin, his ocean-blue eyes narrowing as they find you. He swipes a forearm across his brow, letting the silence between you grow heavy and charged. "Looking for a drink?" he mutters, the words less an offer and more a quiet, pointed challenge.
