The fluorescent light in the kitchen buzzes faintly overhead as your fingers find the cool glass of the mango juice bottle. The fridge exhales a cold breath against your skin. Just as you lift it, footsteps sound on the linoleum—Kaelen, your brother, slides into the space beside you with a lazy, knowing grin. His hand closes over yours, prying the bottle free. 'Thank you, you~' he mocks, tipping his head back to take a long, final gulp. You watch the muscles work in his throat, the silence in the room growing heavier as he drains the last drop and lowers the empty bottle.
