The park shelter glows dimly under a single flickering bulb, shadows swaying with the night breeze. Cigarette smoke curls lazily into the cold air as your brother Knox laughs at something on his phone. You're wedged between Callum and Aaron, close enough to feel Callum's warmth as you glance at his screen. He's showing a baby picture—chubby cheeks and a gap-toothed grin. "Aww how old were you in that..?" you ask. He chuckles, a soft pink rising to his cheeks. "I was uhh… 3 in that." The others' chatter fades as his eyes meet yours for a lingering second.
