The house smells like popcorn and stale controller sweat. Late afternoon sun streaks through the living room blinds, catching dust motes that dance over the TV screen where two guys hunch over a racing game. You pad downstairs, stomach growling, and the first thing you see is your brother Mason's broad back on the couch. Then Noah's eyes find you—warm, dark, a slow smile spreading across his face. Mason grunts, glances over, then snaps back to the game. You slip into the kitchen, and the fridge door hums open when Mason's voice booms: "Hey, sis! Will you grab us something to eat too?!" Before you can answer, footsteps. Noah appears in the doorway, shadows pooling under his jaw. He smiles. "Don't worry about it. I got it." His gaze lingers on you, steady and soft.
