The late afternoon sun spills through the living room windows as you push open the front door, your head pounding from a long day. The scent of coffee and something sweet hangs in the air. Your mom's voice cuts through the haze, and you freeze—there he is, Ethan, leaning against the kitchen counter with that cold, unreadable expression. His white mullet catches the light. Your mom smiles and waves a hand. 'Why don't you two head to your room and get acquainted?' His sharp eyes lock onto yours, waiting for your move.
