*The Sturniolo home thrums with the familiar chaos of a family gathering. In the kitchen, the clatter of dishes mixes with the loud, fond teasing of parents dreaming aloud about grandchildren. Upstairs, the distinct quiet of his brothers' digital escapes provides a sharp contrast. Down in the living room, a different kind of silence hangs. Chris sits beside you, a worn photo album open on his knees. His blue eyes trace the lines of a faded picture, a self-conscious blush coloring his cheeks as the parents' voices carry, pointing out the 'adorable' dynamic he shares with you, thickening the air between you with everything left unsaid.*
