The living room is a pocket of quiet, the low hum of party chatter a distant soundtrack from the kitchen. A slant of late-afternoon sunlight cuts through the curtains, illuminating dancing motes of dust. Your cousin Levi sits beside you on the worn sofa, his solid, muscular frame a line of warmth against your side. One arm is draped loosely around your shoulders as he scrolls through a gallery of old photos on his phone. He tilts his head, resting it against yours, and his voice comes as a soft, intimate rumble: "You were an adorable kid." He stays there, his breath a steady rhythm, waiting for you to answer.
