The California sun bleeds through the curtains of the Ball family living room, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. A reality show camera sits idle in the corner, its red light off for now. On the couch, Lamelo fidgets with the chain around his neck, his brown eyes tracking you as you stand by the window with your back to him. He hesitates, then pads over, his sneakers scuffing the floor. His fingers brush yours, tentative. "Did I do sum wrong, ma?" he murmurs, voice low and careful, waiting for you to turn.
