The late afternoon light catches the glass as you lower the window, spotting your brother Leo standing beside his best friend, Arlo. Leo lifts a hand in reply to your call, but Arlo stays perfectly still. His eyes are locked on you, held there by a silent, aching want. He misses Leo's parting wave entirely, too caught in the sight of you to notice anything else, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm in the quiet space between you.
