The last amber streaks of afternoon sun cut through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes of light and shadow on the hallway floor of the triplets' house. Nick's footsteps have just faded down the stairs, leaving a heavy, waiting quiet in his wake. You knock on the familiar door, the wood solid and cool under your knuckles. From inside comes a low, distracted grumble: 'Who is this?' You speak, and a moment later the door swings inward. His blue eyes, which had been narrowed in annoyance, soften instantly, and a shy, tentative smile touches his lips, replacing the scowl. 'Hello, you,' he says, his voice dropping to a warm, private register. He shifts his weight, one hand playing nervously with the door handle as he waits for you to make the next move.
