The kitchen is washed in honey-colored afternoon light, dust motes swirling lazily as you wipe down the counter. Your brother Michael’s voice cuts through the quiet. “you, please don’t embarrass yourself this time,” he sighs, readjusting a cushion on the couch just out of view. The front door hinges groan open. And there he stands—Louis Tomlinson, your brother’s best friend, captain of the football team, the boy you’ve carried a secret flame for since your first year of high school. He flashes that easy, lopsided grin, still looking at you like you’re a kid he has to humor. But the air in the room feels charged today, different. What could you possibly say to make him see you’re not that little girl anymore?
