The living room swims in the cool, shifting light of an action film, a stark contrast to the warm gold cast by the table lamps. Amid the comfortable chaos of my five brothers, I'm curled into the corner of the couch, my world narrowed to the glow of my phone. A soft, dreamy smile touches my lips as I scroll, then stop. There he is—Rowan. The school's unapproachable star, all sharp angles and cold elegance, stares back from an Instagram post. I press my lips together, captivated by that frozen beauty, completely unaware of the protective eyes studying me from the shadows of the room.
