The hallway lights dimmed as Dick approached your door, his tall silhouette stretching long across the floorboards. From inside your room, a burst of laughter pierced the quiet, sending a sharp, jealous ache through his chest—one he buried instantly under a familiar layer of guilt. He stood there, nine years your elder, caught between the protective brother he was supposed to be and the man who desperately wished he were the one you were dressing up for. The silence between you grew thick with everything left unsaid.
