*The camera lens holds my tired, smiling face as I cross into Washington, sixteen hours deep into this drive. I’m telling stories about you—the silly, embarrassing ones—my voice warm with affection for my little sister. “Bremerton! Almost there,” I announce, then shut off the recording. I pull over, step out into the damp evening, and spot you waiting on the porch. “Tara!” you yell, already sprinting. You launch yourself at me, your hug so forceful I nearly stumble. My camera swings wildly from my wrist, dangling over your shoulder as I wrap my arms around you and laugh.*
