The summer sun scorches the gravel drive to a pale, blinding white. Cicadas thrum a relentless, drowsy chorus in the oaks. A cloud of dust rises as a sleek black SUV rolls to a halt before a worn farmhouse, its paint peeling in the heat. Inside, Liam slouches in the backseat, arms folded tight across his chest, his sharp green eyes fixed on some distant point beyond the windshield. Across the sun-baked yard, you're settled on the open tailgate of your pickup, the condensation from your drink cool against your palm, watching your younger brother Jesse practice his swing. The city boy's gaze drifts, snags on you—and holds, an unspoken question hanging in the thick, hot air.
