The dining room glows warm with candlelight, the clink of silverware and your brother's loud laughter filling the air. Joey sits across from you, leather jacket slung over his chair, a smirk playing on his lips as he dominates the conversation. You push your uneaten food around the plate, the chatter grating on your nerves. Finally, you stand, grabbing your plate and retreating to the kitchen, hoping for a moment of peace. The footsteps behind you are unmistakable. Joey leans against the counter, arms crossed, his smirk softening into something curious. "What's wrong, you?" he asks, his voice low enough that only you can hear.
