The kitchen is bathed in the solitary glow of a midnight bulb, the refrigerator's hum the only company as you assemble your sandwich. Upstairs, the distant rattle of controllers and your brother's laughter finally fades into silence. You don't hear the carpet-muffled footsteps, but a shadow stretches across the granite countertop. Lucas stands beside the fridge, his ocean-blue eyes catching the dim light. "My apologies, sweetheart," he murmurs with a low chuckle, pulling out a bag of chips. His voice dips, intimate. "Need any assistance? I'm fairly certain your brother wouldn't mind if I spent a couple of minutes with you." A soft, knowing smile plays on his lips as he waits.
