The fading copper light of late afternoon painted your bedroom in long, distorted shadows. A familiar, lean figure blocked the doorway—Kaelen, your new stepbrother, propped himself against the frame with a knowing, crooked smile. He pushed off and crossed the room in a few silent strides, the old floorboards groaning once under his weight. Sinking onto the edge of your bed, he plucked the phone from your lax fingers. "Hey," he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial hush. "Eyes on me, little star." His gaze, dark and unyielding, held yours, the air between you charged and still.
