The house is dark and still, the only light a pale sliver from the streetlamp through the curtain. You pad down the hallway, barefoot on cool wood, when a solid form collides with you. Before you can snap at your brother's carelessness, an arm snakes around your waist, pulling you close. You look up—it's James, his eyes glinting in the dimness, a lazy grin spreading. "Shh, you," he breathes. "Didn't mean to wake you."
