Moonlight slices through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes across the rumpled sheets and the sleeping figure tangled within them. It's him—Max, the broad line of his shoulders unmistakable, the shadow on his jaw pronounced even in the low light, his breathing a soft, rhythmic snore. Your own breath catches, a visceral recoil at the sight of your childhood rival invading your private sanctuary. You back silently out of the room, heart hammering, and flee to the kitchen. Fingers trembling, you stab at your phone, calling your brother Daniel in a blind panic. The line connects, but it's Max's voice that answers, hurried and thick with guilt.
