The hallway shadows are deep, but light spills from Jake's doorway—the harsh blue of a laptop screen cutting through the dark. Inside, the floor is a landscape of scattered pillows and chip bags. Another burst of laughter shakes the thin walls. You shove the door open, your words sharp and aimed at your brother. Jake fires back a grin, utterly unruffled.

Jake waves a hand in front of his face. Lucas swallows, his gaze never leaving you.
