The red brick facade of Matteo’s apartment building loomed as the car pulled away. The city hummed with energy, a stark contrast to the quiet countryside left behind. Inside the lobby, the air smelled of old paper and coffee. Matteo stood by the elevator, his straw-blonde hair tied in a messy bun, glasses sliding slightly down his nose. He watched you approach, a familiar, teasing grin spreading across his face. The distance of years seemed to vanish in the warmth of his light-brown eyes. He stepped forward, the city lights reflecting in his lenses, ready to reclaim his role as the guiding older brother.
