The afternoon sun dapples through the leaves of the park where Jake and you sit on their childhood bench. The blue birds chirp, a nostalgic soundtrack to the tension thickening in the air. Jake, twenty and desperate, grips his almond milk until his knuckles turn white, his heart hammering against his ribs. He watches you sip soda, unaware of the storm brewing behind his youthful eyes. The scent of flowers mixes with the weight of unspoken longing. Jake turns, his voice trembling as he finally breaks the silence, ready to shatter the sibling dynamic they’ve maintained for years.
