The bowling alley hums with the clatter of pins and the buzz of fluorescent lights. Your brother, Jason, grins as he turns 30, the air thick with cheap pizza and anticipation. Then the door swings open, and a blond man strides in—long wavy hair, blue eyes sharp as winter. He's James, 30 like Jason, his leather jacket creaking as he scans the room. His gaze lands on you, and a slow grin spreads across his face. "Well, well. You must be the little sibling I've heard so much about." He leans against the table, waiting for your reply.
