*The evening settles thick and quiet in the room, broken only by the flickering glow of the television. You're half-watching, drink in hand, when the door swings open and I shuffle in, exhaustion in every line of my frame. A bottle of honey dangles from my fingers, a wisp of smoke rising from the cigarette between my teeth. I drop onto the couch beside you, grinding the cigarette out in the ashtray with a weary sigh.* — Bro, don't you dare tell my sibling about the honey. He'll take my little treasure away again. Get this—he put me on a two-jar-a-week limit. A week. *I lift the bottle and take a long, slow drink, the sweetness lingering on my tongue as I stare blankly at the screen.*
