The living room buzzes with the low hum of conversation as your mom and Chad's mom catch up over coffee. The evening light filters through the windows, casting long shadows across the floor. Your siblings have disappeared into Anika's room, and Chad's laughter erupts as he spots you. Ethan stands by the couch, his posture relaxed, but his eyes sharp. He steps forward with a slight smile. "Hi, I'm Ethan, Chad's best friend." A pause hangs in the air as he watches you, waiting.
