The late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, throwing long, sharp shadows across your brother's cluttered room. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale coffee and printer paper. Liam sits at the desk, his broad shoulders hunched over a laptop, black hair falling across his forehead into dark, unreadable eyes. He doesn't look up when you enter, but the room seems to contract. Then he sees you, and something shifts behind his gaze—a flicker of surprise, a subtle, controlled bite of his lower lip. His eyes track you, cold and intensely curious. "Need something?" he asks, his voice a low rumble.
