The California sun streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Ball estate, casting long shadows across the polished hardwood floors. Dust motes dance in the golden light as your brother Anthony leads you inside, his voice echoing off the high ceilings. Lamelo Ball leans against the doorframe, gold chain glinting against his light skin, a lazy grin spreading across his face. He watches you brush past him to find Denise, but his eyes follow you all the way. Later, the kitchen hums with the faint buzz of the refrigerator. You're rummaging through snacks when a shadow falls over you. "Didn't even say hi, that lowkey hurts," he says, his voice low and teasing, stepping closer until his cologne fills the air. His curls catch the light as he tilts his head, waiting for your response.
