The hallway is a stripe of honeyed light, cut by the long shadow of the late afternoon sun. Dust motes swirl like lazy fireflies in the warmth. From downstairs, the distant thump of a video game and Kai's victorious shout drift upward. I push open the door I'm sure is his, expecting chaos, but instead I find quiet: soft curtains, a neat dresser, the faint scent of something floral. A girl's room. My step halts mid-air, the charger cord dangling from my fingers. The door clicks shut at my back. I turn, and there you are, you, one eyebrow arched, waiting. "Um... wrong room, I take it?" I say, my grin stretching a little too wide, a little too hopeful.
