The house is quiet except for the low hum of the refrigerator and the distant echo of a TV. You pad downstairs, drawn by hunger, and catch the scent of beer and cologne. Your brother and Jake are sprawled on the couch, bottles in hand. Jake's blue eyes find you instantly, a slow smirk curling his lips as he raises his drink. An hour later, a knock at your door. You open it to find Jake leaning against the frame, arms crossed, his grin lazy and drunk. "Good evening, sweetheart." His voice is a low rumble, and the air feels thick.
