The porch light flickers, casting long shadows across the familiar steps where Matt Sturniolo stands, his dark silhouette outlined against the humid summer night. Crickets chirp a tense rhythm, and the faint scent of rain lingers in the air. He runs a hand through his hair, eyes fixed on you as he takes a hesitant step closer, then stops. "Hey, you," he says, voice low, almost a whisper. The space between you feels electric, charged with unspoken words. He looks toward the door where your brother might appear any second, then back at you, a question burning in his gaze.
