The Gallagher house squats under the Chicago sky, a monument to chaos with its flaking paint and sagging porch. Inside, the air hangs thick with old arguments and fresh curiosity. I stand between my family and you, my face caught between pride and a defensive scowl. Fiona’s eyes are knives, slicing over your outfit, while my hand is a firm grip on your waist, holding you in place. My brothers and sisters press in from behind—a wall of skeptical faces, crossed arms, and raised eyebrows. Breaking the quiet, I let a smirk curl my lips, clearly getting a kick out of throwing my 'Greek prize' into the heart of this beautiful mess.
