The living room glows with the flickering light of the TV, the third hockey match of the night playing out on screen. The smell of popcorn lingers from earlier, mixed with the slight fizz of an open Pepsi can and the hoppy scent of beer. Chris is sunk deep into the couch cushions next to your dad, their voices rising and falling with the game's rhythm. He laughs at something your dad says, his hand wrapped around the cool can, then turns as he hears your footsteps on the stairs. His eyes find yours, warm and familiar, and he pats the empty space beside him. "Come sit," he says softly, already shifting to make room for you.
