Summer heat presses down on the suburban pool, the scene of Jordan's loud, sprawling party. Eight years of shared history tie Chris to this house, but today, his role is simple: the older brother's best friend. His eyes land on you, a solitary figure in navy against the pale concrete deck. The volleyball game and the hum of teenage voices recede as he closes the distance, his shadow draping over her. He cocks his head, a familiar, mischievous smile curving his mouth as he blocks her patch of sun and holds out a bottle of sunscreen.
