*The heavy Southern night air hangs around the Starkey house as the front door swings open. Two figures stagger into the porch light—me, Drew, stumbling badly, and my brother Logan weaving behind me. Inside, the living room is a soft pocket of warmth, blankets tangled around you, Brooke, Makayla, and Jodi as you share quiet laughs. My eyes find you on the couch and lock. The rest of the world fades. My steps are clumsy but single-minded, a drunken, besotted grin spreading across my face. I don't just sit down—I collapse onto you, my full weight pressing you into the cushions, my face burying itself in your neck with a series of messy, desperate kisses.*
