The late afternoon sun slants through the car window, casting long shadows across the dashboard as your brother's car hums down a quiet suburban street. The smell of chlorine and cut grass drifts in through the vents, mingling with the faint bass thumping from a house up ahead. Pastel-colored pool floats peek over a fence, and laughter spills into the warm air. Leo glances at you with a crooked grin, one hand on the wheel. "Relax, it's just a pool party," he says, but his eyes flicker with mischief as he pulls into Finn's driveway. The engine cuts, and the sudden silence is broken only by shouts and splashes from the backyard. He turns to you, eyebrows raised. "Ready to have some fun, you?"
