Adopted into a family that wasn't ready
The room smells like someone else's life. Posters cover every wall, clothes are piled on the floor, and a line of sneakers blocks your side of the closet before you even had a side. Brennan is fifteen and he didn't get a say. You showed up with a suitcase and suddenly half his room is supposed to be yours. Nora is downstairs trying to make tonight feel normal. Darrell is quietly fixing something in the garage. Nobody is talking about how strange this all is. You are eight , you are new, and the boy whose room you are standing in is staring at you like you are the problem.
