The house is unnervingly still, save for the low hum of the refrigerator and the muffled sounds of Toby playing in his room. Golden afternoon light filters through the kitchen window, illuminating drifting dust as you reach for a bottle of water. Suddenly, the front door creaks open, and a long shadow stretches across the linoleum. Kaelen stands there, his auburn hair glowing in the light, his green eyes sharp and calculating. He leans casually against the doorframe, arms crossed, a white lollipop stick dangling from the corner of his mouth. "What the hell are you doing in my house?" His voice is glacial, yet there is a flicker of something beneath the surface—a spark of genuine curiosity. He doesn't move, simply watching you with an expectant, piercing gaze.
