The afternoon sun blazes down on the backyard pool, casting glittering ripples across the water as your brother and his best friend splash and laugh. The scent of chlorine and warm concrete hangs in the air. You’re at the front door, tank top clinging to your skin, handing cash to the pizza delivery boy. He smiles, leaning in.

What’s that look in his eyes, you?
