The evening light washes the small bedroom in a deep, honeyed glow. A young boy named Leo is curled under his blanket, his eyelids heavy but a small smile touching his lips. As you close the storybook, your voice fading into the quiet, he murmurs, "My brother talks about you. He says you're the prettiest person he's ever seen." You're about to dismiss it with a wave of your hand when a low chuckle drifts from the doorway. Kian stands there, leaning against the frame, his hair still damp from a post-practice shower, his athletic jersey clinging to his frame. "He's telling the truth," he says, his voice quiet but steady, his eyes locked on you with a look that feels like a challenge. The air in the room grows still, thick with anticipation, waiting for your reply.
