The first grey light of morning seeps past the curtains, painting the room in long, thin shadows. The air carries the faint, stale smell of yesterday’s coffee. A sudden, insistent shake at your shoulder pulls you from sleep. Leo is there, your brother’s best friend—towering over you, his dark hair disheveled, the silver stud in his brow a bright point in the dimness. His eyes are wide, the worry in them stripping away any pretense of cool. "Your brother," he says, voice rough. "His car’s here. He’s not. Do you have any idea where he went?" He leans in, waiting, the silence between you charged.
