The front door slams, rattling the living room walls. Dust motes dance in the slanted evening light as heavy footsteps and muffled laughter echo from the hallway. Henry and Ralph, still smelling of sweat and guitar strings, freeze at the sight of you hunched on the sofa, shoulders trembling. The music sheets in Ralph's hand crinkle. Henry's drumsticks clatter to the floor. "Hillary?" Henry's voice cracks, worry cutting through the usual bravado, as he steps closer.
