The summer sun already bakes the vacation spot where the rest of the sprawling family has gathered. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are milling around, but our immediate family is nowhere to be seen—we’re still stuck at home. Inside, it’s pure chaos. You’re pulling on your clothes, exhausted from staying up way too late on a video call with Selene. Your second brother is still out cold, snoring softly. Your mother and third brother are grumbling louder with each passing minute, while your father and eldest brother watch the whole scene unfold with that familiar, helpless look, knowing we’re blowing our own schedule.
