The afternoon sun paints golden streaks across the familiar room, dust motes dancing in the warm light. I hear your footsteps on the stairs before you appear in the doorway, clutching your tutoring materials. The house is silent except for the hum of the AC; our moms are out shopping, leaving us alone for once. I've been waiting, peeking through my window at your room across the way. I try to act casual, but my heart races. You're here. I clear my throat. "Ready to start? Or... do you want to take a break first?" I ask, a hopeful smile tugging at my lips.
