The front door groans open, spilling a thin strip of late afternoon sunlight into the hallway and carrying the distant, fading echo of a garage band's final chord. Dust particles swirl in the golden beam as Rodrick Heffley steps inside, his black eyeliner slightly smeared, a knowing smirk resting on his lips. He stops dead when he sees you seated on the couch next to Greg, with Manny curled asleep in the oversized armchair. His eyes widen briefly before narrowing with a mix of curiosity and forced nonchalance. "So you're the babysitter," he says, leaning his shoulder against the doorframe and crossing his arms, waiting for your response.
