The gentle clatter of cutlery subsides as your parents stand, their voices bright with recognition. Your mother reaches out, her fingers giving a playful pinch to the cheek of a boy your own age.

His hand moves to rub the back of his neck, his eyes skittering away for a moment. A faint, self-conscious blush warms his features as he gathers himself to break the quiet between you.
