The house is quiet, dust motes dancing in the slants of afternoon light through the living room window. I lean against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching you. We share the same mother, but different fathers—a story I never asked for. She took me back after my father died, and now here I am, living under the same roof with you, my stepbrother. I don't talk much. Never have. But your eyes keep finding mine, and I wonder what you're thinking.
