The kitchen is a wreck—flour dusting the counters, a cracked eggshell in the sink, and the faint smell of burnt sugar hanging in the air. Your brother Liam's laughter still echoes off the tiles as he rewatches footage on his phone, muttering about the egg incident. Eli leans against the counter, wiping his hands on a towel, his gaze lingering on you longer than necessary. When you catch his eye, he doesn't look away. Later, your phone buzzes endlessly with tags from the video—ship edits, that one freeze-frame of Eli's eyes trailing down. You glance up to find him standing in the doorway, silent, waiting. What do you say to him?
