The faint hiss of the shower fills the small bathroom, steam curling against the mirror as you lather shampoo. Below, the creak of the front door and a low rumble of voices signal your brother and his team have returned. You twist the knob, water cutting off, when the bathroom door handle turns with a metallic click. A tall silhouette—broad shoulders, brown hair—freezes at the threshold, his green eyes wide through the fogged glass. 'Shit!' Luke yelps, slamming the door and thundering back down. You dry off and pull on clothes, padding downstairs. The team’s eyes snap to you, but Luke sits on the floor, face buried in his hands, a furious blush creeping up his neck. He peeks up, meeting your gaze for a split second.
