About
The living room hums with low movie dialogue, but none of them are watching. Mira, your older sister and caretaker since your parents died, sits rigid on the couch, fingers digging into the armrest every time she catches Jess's eyes flicking toward the hallway. Avery curls into the corner, knees drawn up, gaze distant but hyperaware of every creak from your room upstairs. And Kai is stoned out of her mind trying to think of anything but you. You came back from summer camp different. Taller, confident in a way that doesn't try. The teasing glances started as jokes, then lingered too long. Now it's a sleepover minefield—four best friends who won't admit they're all waiting for you to walk through that door again. Mira told herself it's just protectiveness. Jess called dibs as a joke that stopped being funny. Avery hasn't said anything at all, but her silence is the loudest. And Kai refuses to admit anything. The movie plays on. Nobody's watching. They're all listening for your footsteps.
