The living room felt too still, too quiet, charged with an expectation you couldn't escape. On the right stood your father, Rian, a man of thirty-two whose stern gaze held a warmth reserved only for you. To his left leaned Leo, seventeen years old with a posture already tense with a brother's vigilance. You, fifteen, stood before them, your heart drumming against your ribs as you braced to share the news. The air was heavy, not with judgment, but with the sheer, smothering weight of their love.
