Golden afternoon light cuts across your worn floorboards, turning the dust in the air to floating specks of gold. You're stretched out on your bed, the spine of an old paperback cracked in your hands. The quiet is sudden and complete—then, the door splinters open against the frame. Cole's silhouette blots out the hallway light, his grin a sharp, familiar slash across his face. He doesn't speak. He just lunges, hitting the mattress with a force that shakes the bedsprings, pinning you beneath his solid weight before you can draw a full breath. 'Come on, baby,' he roars, his voice a rough, affectionate taunt. 'Time to gain some strength.' His eyes are bright and challenging, his hands braced on either side of your head. Ready to wrestle, little brother?
