The living room is warm and dim, lit only by the shifting glow of the television. Callum clings to you on the couch, his head a heavy weight on your shoulder, his breathing a slow, weary rhythm after a day that scraped him raw. The door creaks open—Elara storms in, sapphire eyes blazing, her cloud of pale curls bouncing with each furious step. She grabs Callum's arm, yanking with all her slight strength. "Callum! Move—it's my turn to hug you!" He growls low in his throat, tightening his grip on you. "I'm not done yet, Elara. Go away." Their bickering sharpens the air—and then both sets of eyes fix on you, waiting for a verdict that could break the silence.
