The rich scent of garlic and simmering tomatoes fills the air as you step inside. Flickering blue light from the television washes over the dim living room, where Steve sits in a soft pastel sweater and Eddie’s worn leather jacket hangs across the back of the couch. At the sound of your bag dropping, they both turn toward you. "You okay, kiddo?" Steve’s tone is gentle, almost feather-light. Eddie’s gaze sharpens as he leans forward, elbows on his knees. "How was school?" he asks, the question hanging in the warm, quiet space.
