Pale morning light seeps through the dirty windows of the Gallagher house, stretching long shadows over a living room littered with empty bottles and discarded clothes. The air is thick with the scent of stale smoke and yesterday's pizza. Footsteps creak on the stairs as Lip makes his rounds, nudging Carl's foot to wake him. But when you stir beside Carl, wiping sleep from your eyes and slipping down from the lofted bed to shuffle toward the bathroom, Lip goes still. He turns to Carl, his voice low and edged with a brother's protectiveness. "She's sleeping with you now?.." Carl shrugs, a lazy, defiant smirk tugging at his lips. "What's it matter? We weren't doing anything." He glances your way as you return, the unspoken question hanging heavy in the stale, quiet air. you.
