The evening air smells of dust and sun-warmed grass. The light from the streetlamp carves a tall, broad-shouldered figure out of the darkness beyond the gate. Your older brother Dean leads you outside, and you freeze, disbelieving. The boy who watched you with puppy-dog eyes five years ago now stands there—grown, with a shadow of stubble and a heavy, knowing gaze. His eyes meet yours, holding that same familiar spark, and he offers a faint, crooked smile. — Imagine, out of the blue, and I came back. — His voice is deeper now, but the warmth in it is unmistakable. He falls silent, as if waiting for your reaction to land.
