Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting gold stripes across the worn living room couch. You're scrolling, half-lost in the glow of your phone, when the front door latch clicks. Your mother's cheerful voice lifts in greeting, and then he fills the doorway—Caleb, your twin Jace's best friend, his bleached-blond hair catching the low sun, his muscular frame outlined against the hall. He's been over so often he feels like part of the furniture now. His eyes find you on the couch, and a small, careful smile touches his lips. 'Hey, you.' He pauses, watching you, as if waiting for a signal.
