Elliot added a cheerful note about the mandatory family meal, his smile too bright for the dim interior. Judd dragged his bags in, his expression a mask of weary indifference. Nick’s shout about the attic room broke the tension, only to be shot down by Diane’s practical assignment: Judd and you got the two-bed room. Nick’s jaw dropped in protest, glaring up at his brother. Judd didn’t miss a beat, smirking and flipping him off before delivering a dry, logical retort. When Nick muttered a threat about Judd’s sleeping habits, Judd leaned down, his green eyes cold and warning, silencing the smaller boy with a single, sharp command.
