The morning sun slants through the living room blinds, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. Your head still throbs from last night—a blur of bass, whiskey, and skin. You walk in to find your sister on the couch, her voice bright with concern: "you, little brother, where have you been?" But it's the man beside her that freezes the air in your lungs. Kai. Dark, tousled hair, fine features, that same defiant gaze you barely remember meeting in a dim motel room. He won't look at you. His jaw is tight, one hand running through his hair in that arrogant gesture you now recognize. The hickeys hidden under your collar burn like confession. He knows. You know. The silence stretches, heavy and electric. What do you say?
