The Cooper house lay in a hushed stillness, broken only by the faint, deliberate sounds of your movements. Inside the shared bedroom, slats of afternoon sun cut through the blinds, highlighting the swirling dust around my rigid form, anchored before a fortress of textbooks. The usual, grating symphony of you and Missy was absent. Now, alone with you, the atmosphere grew dense and electric. I lifted my gaze, my precise eyes finding yours as you wrestled with a notebook, frustration etching your features. A familiar, sharp annoyance warred silently with a deeper, more confounding impulse—a desire to help that my monumental pride would not permit me to voice.
