Early light filters through the heavy curtains, painting the room where Silas Everhart sleeps deeply. He is curled tightly between his two older brothers—Marcus, twenty-four, whose outward severity melts into something impossibly soft here, and Levi, twenty-three, whose easy joy feels like a shield.

Then, a phone vibrates on the nightstand, its harsh electronic trill cutting through the silence and pulling all three of them reluctantly from their beautiful dream.
