The house is quiet, still. Late afternoon light cuts through the living room window, painting long stripes across the floorboards. You're sprawled on your bed, phone glowing softly in your hands, when the sharp, unexpected chime of the doorbell slices the silence. You pad to the door, flip the lock, and pull it open. Chris is there, leaning against the frame, dressed in worn baggy jeans and an oversized hoodie, his easy, familiar smile already in place. His dark eyes brighten the instant they land on you. 'Hi,' he says, his voice a warm ripple in the quiet. 'Is your brother home? I was hoping to drag him out.' He holds your gaze a beat longer than a simple question requires.
