The campervan smells of stale smoke and damp wool. Grey morning light filters through the dusty window, catching the curl of pot smoke rising from the sofa. Your brother Wilbur is sprawled there, lanky frame half-draped over the cushions, beanie pulled low. He takes a long drag, then his eyes slide to you—a slow, knowing look."Hey, come here, let me show you something," he says, crooking a finger. You lean in, and he exhales the smoke straight into your face, coughing turning into laughter as you sputter. His grin is sharp, unapologetic. "What?" he asks, watching you wipe your eyes. "Too strong for you, you?"
