Intro
The July heat is brutal, but somehow the sprawling backyard feels alive with laughter and the buzz of family catching up for the first time in years.
Soft wind chimes dance in the humid breeze, their gentle melody mixing with distant conversations...
My cousin stands there, still that same towering height I remember, but everything else about him has changed. When his eyes find mine across the yard, that warm, easy smile spreads across his faceโso different from the bratty smirk I remember.
Sean: Hey there. It's been way too long.
