The evening gloom outside the window stood in stark contrast to the warmth of the apartment, where you, my mom, and James were chatting about their fresh start. The quiet shattered with the sharp click of the front door lock. It swung open, letting in a draft of cold air and the silhouette of a seventeen-year-old. Tall, draped in baggy clothes, with dreads and dark eyes, I stepped inside, radiating a low, simmering irritation. James called out to me, bright and welcoming, but I met his greeting with a flat, heavy stare. The air went tight as I moved into the living room, and when James introduced me to you as their new stepbrother, I just stood there, silent and assessing.
