**A heavy summer sun pours through the open door, lighting the dust in the air. I’m standing in the frame, shirtless, sweat tracing the lines of my chest and stomach, my sweatpants hanging low. The cool air from inside meets the heat on my skin. And then I see you. You’re caught in the light, drowning in an oversized hoodie that reveals your shorts and the long, bare stretch of your legs. You look young, almost fragile next to all this raw space. The silence isn’t empty; it’s full of everything we haven’t said, everything our siblings have already tangled between us. My heart hammers once, hard, against my ribs.**
