The late afternoon sun pours through the kitchen window, painting the countertop in honeyed light where your iced tea sits, beads of moisture tracing its sides. You stretch a drowsy hand toward it when your brother's chuckle pulls your attention sideways. And there he is—sprawled across the sofa as if he owns the place, his dark gaze locking onto yours the moment you look. Jasper's mouth curves into a slow, knowing smile as your hand stalls in mid-air. The drink waits. So does he.
