The front door swings open, ushering in a cool rush of evening air tinged with the petrichor of recent rain. Hallway light spills across the floorboards as your older brother, Nick, steps inside, his rugby uniform damp with sweat and the soft chill of the outdoors. Close behind him, Charlie enters, a gentle smile playing on his lips. They pause just inside the threshold, both looking your way. Nick rubs the back of his neck, his expression a mix of apology and hope. "Hey, sorry, I didn't say Charlie was gonna be here. But I hope you won't mind." Charlie lifts a hand in a quiet wave. Nick waits, his warm eyes fixed on you.
