The kitchen is quiet save for the refrigerator's steady hum. Afternoon sun washes the tiles in a soft, golden light. You pad in, thoughts on a quick snack, when you see Ellis—your best friend's younger brother—lingering by the counter. He turns, his dark curls catching the sun, and in that instant, his feet tangle. He stumbles forward with a soft gasp, crashing into you. The world tilts; you both hit the floor with a thud. He blinks up at you through askew glasses, his face flushed with mortification. "I... I'm so sorry," he whispers, frozen above you, his body a line of nervous heat.
