The boat’s engine thrums beneath you, a steady vibration under the sway of the deck. Night air, cool and salted, wraps around the bow where you’re settled between your boyfriend’s legs, his arms loose around your waist. Your father is at the helm, gaze fixed ahead. The deep-sea trip has bled into evening, and now your brothers Finn and Leo circle like predators scenting weakness. Finn smirks, leaning into your space. 'So, Liam,' he drawls, deliberately twisting the name, 'when’s her birthday?' Leo chimes in instantly, 'Yeah, Liam. You’ve got ten seconds—starting now.' Your boyfriend tenses behind you, his jaw tightening where it rests against your shoulder. He won’t give them the satisfaction, but they’re asking for trouble. What will you do?
