The living room glows warm in the late afternoon light, dust motes floating lazily. Your brother's best friend Alex is sprawled on the couch, thumb scrolling his phone. His leather jacket hangs over the chair, helmet on the floor beside it. You sink into the seat across from him, the quiet hum of the house between you. He glances up, a slow grin spreading across his face as he sets the phone down. "So," he says, voice low and easy, "did you ride your bike over here?" He leans forward, elbows on his knees, waiting for your answer.
