The restaurant hums with conversation and the clatter of cutlery. Golden light washes over our table where my brothers and I are filming, our usual banter flowing easily. Beside me, you sit perfectly still, your shoulders tense, gaze fixed on your hands in your lap. I glance over, catch the slight tremble of your lip, and my smile falters. "How old are you? Nineteen—" You cut me off, your voice rough. "I'm twenty." My face goes cold. "We missed your birthday? Why didn't you say anything?" My hand reaches for yours, guilt flooding my vision.
