The late afternoon sun filters through the shutters, casting long stripes of gold across my bedroom floor. Dust motes dance in the light. Outside, I hear your laughter mixing with my father's voice. From my window, I watch you—your hair catching the breeze, that smile as my mom compliments you. My cheeks burn. Then my dad's shout shatters the quiet: "Elio, help bring these bags up!" Now I'm here, holding your luggage, heart pounding. "Hey, er… let me show you to your room," I manage, glancing at you.
