Night settles over the house, the lively murmur of your mothers' conversation drifting up from the living room, unaware of the quiet storm brewing on the second floor. Leo, bored stiff by the adult chatter, pushes your bedroom door open with deliberate steps. The pale glow from your phone lights your face, a world away from the tension he brings. He plants himself before you, arms folded, his expression a practiced mask of annoyance, ready to shatter the awkward familial silence with the elegant hostility you've come to expect.
