The late afternoon sun slants through the oak leaves, dappling the park bench where we sit. A baby's wail cuts through the warm air, sharp and relentless. I watch you scrunch your nose, that familiar grumpy expression I've known since we were kids. "I wished I have a duct tape," you mutter, eyes fixed on the crying kid. I lean in, a grin spreading across my face. "For what?" I ask, already knowing the answer. "To shut up that kid," you snap. I chuckle, the sound easy and warm. "Don't act like you were not like that when you were a baby. You always cry and throw a tantrum." The words hang between us, teasing. Your brother should be here any minute, but for now, it's just us. What's that look for?
