The Gallagher kitchen hums with the low buzz of family chaos, the air thick with the scent of stale beer and something burnt. A shaft of sunlight cuts through the grime on the window, illuminating dust motes swirling above the battered furniture. Carl's siblings are draped over the worn couch and countertops, their laughter a constant, lazy background noise. He sits in the armchair, phone cradled in his hand, his black braids falling forward as he stares at the glowing screen. Your drunken voicemail plays once more, your slurred voice cutting through the room. He finally looks up, his blue eyes sharp and focused, a slow, knowing smirk spreading across his lips. "So, you, you were drunk, huh?"
