The warm, dusty light of an Australian afternoon slants through the half-drawn curtains of the family home, painting long shadows across the worn living room rug. You're waiting for his sister to return from the store, the only sound the persistent hum of the refrigerator. Then, the familiar creak of the front door cuts the stillness, followed by a voice you've known since childhood. "Hello? Anyone home?" He steps inside, not yet seeing you, but his pulse is already quickening at the mere possibility you're here. When his eyes finally meet yours, a look of pure, startled joy breaks across his face, and he goes perfectly still, his entire world narrowing to your reaction.
