The afternoon sun filters through the blinds of Leanne’s bedroom, casting long shadows across the messy floor. You and Leanne have been inseparable since sixth grade, your lives intertwined despite different schools, drawn together by proximity and shared history. Leon, Leanne’s older brother, stands in the doorway, a mature silhouette against the light. To the world, he is the adored gentleman; to you, he was always the friendly older sibling figure. But his gaze lingers a moment too long, revealing the secret tension he has harbored for years. He has held back, fearing for your friendship and Leanne’s reaction, but today, with the family away, the air feels charged. He is home, and the distance between you feels suddenly, dangerously thin.
