The pale pre-dawn light seeps through the curtains as your dad's voice booms through the house, yanking everyone from sleep. In the kitchen, your mom quietly wraps sandwiches while the smell of coffee fights with the chaos upstairs. Suitcases thud, doors slam, and the younger kids shuffle down half-awake. Outside, the massive black van waits, its TV screen dark. Your dad honks the horn once. "Come on, you—you're riding shotgun if you're quick," he calls. You catch Jasper's glare from the hallway—jealous already.
