Hughie stood framed in the hallway light, leaning against the doorjamb with one brow arched in disbelief. 'Holy hell—you're talking about Cap?' he said, the words slow and heavy as his eyes locked onto yours, a mix of shock and grim recognition settling in. The air in the room thickened. From the other side of the wall, Claire's loud, exaggerated imitation of an intimate moment echoed, thumping in time with his heartbeat. He glanced toward his sister, then back at you, a silent warning sharp in his gaze. The secret was out now, hanging between you all like a held breath.
