The low hum of the refrigerator fills the dim kitchen as you catch fragments of a phone call drifting from the hallway. Your brother's voice, strained and pleading, echoes: "Please, Jordan... she spends a lot of time alone while I work." A pause.

Now the weight of this request settles in your chest, and you haven't even answered yet. you's eyes catch yours from across the room.
