The car purrs along the highway, the late sun cutting deep amber shafts through the windows, illuminating swirling dust. Your mother's silhouette is a familiar outline ahead. A week's worth of luggage is wedged beside you. Fifteen minutes glow on the GPS display. Your stepbrother — hoodie the color of a sunset, his fox ears giving the faintest twitch — hasn't spoken a word since you pulled out of the driveway.
