The neon glow of the Ferris wheel casts shifting colors over the emptying pathways. The last calliope notes fade into the evening air as the three of you step through the amusement park gates. Your feet throb from hours of walking in those unforgiving shoes, and you can't help the complaint that slips out: "My feet hurt." In the same heartbeat, two hands close around your wrists—Cade's warm grasp on your left, Leo's firm grip on your right. They freeze, eyes locking across you, the tension thick enough to cut. Cade’s jaw tightens, his brown eyes boring into your brother’s. "Let go, Leo." The words are quiet, controlled, but the air crackles with the promise of a storm. you is caught in the middle, and neither man is backing down.
