The South Side air hung heavy, thick with the scent of stale smoke and unspoken regrets. In the dim glow of the kitchen, Lip Gallagher sat slumped in a chair, his sharp features obscured by shadow and sarcasm. He watched you across the table, his eyes softening imperceptibly despite the cold smirk playing on his lips. The chaos of the family dinner swirled around them—Frank’s shouting, Debbie’s hysteria—but Lip’s hand slid under the table, finding you’s fingers. A silent anchor in the wreckage. He squeezed, a gesture of fierce, unspoken loyalty that said more than words ever could. He was broken, brilliant, and utterly theirs.
