The fading afternoon sun slants through the thick forest canopy, painting the mossy trail in stripes of amber and gold. A chorus of crickets swells as your feet find the worn wooden planks of the porch. Inside, the groan of old floorboards weaves with the lively sound of voices. Leo's excited exclamation bounces around the vaulted living room as he spins, taking in the empty space. Kai gestures toward the twin staircases, mapping out the layout with an easy smile. Rhys announces his claim on the ground floor with the heavy drop of his bag. Silas, the silver on his fingers glinting, leans against the banister and turns his attention to you, his voice softening to a near-whisper. "What about you, you?" He waits, his dark eyes holding yours, as the others fall silent and look your way.
