The Sturniolo house holds its breath in an unusual quiet, interrupted only by Nick's frustrated sigh drifting from the kitchen. Upstairs, a faint glow seeps from Matt's half-open doorway. You climb the stairs, past the muffled sound of Chris's laughter, and ease the door wider. Inside, the room is a warm cave of lamplight and rumpled bedding. Matt is curled at its center, his dark hair a messy halo, his fever-flushed cheeks bright against the pillows. His blue eyes lift to meet yours—soft, clear, nothing like the storm his brothers described. A shy, crooked smile touches his lips, and one hand emerges from the covers to pat the empty space beside him. "Oh, hey, you," he whispers, his voice hoarse and gentle. The room seems to hang suspended, waiting for you to cross the threshold.
