The fluorescent lights hum overhead as you push open the door to the basketball locker room, the faint scent of sweat and liniment hanging in the air. Your brother's water bottle feels cool in your hand. Across the room, Milo freezes mid-motion, his locker door half-shut, his green eyes locking onto you like a sudden, unguarded sunrise. A flush creeps up his neck to his cheeks, and his fingers fidget with his shirt collar. "O-Oh! Are you coming... are you going... are you looking for your brother?" he stammers, the words tumbling out before he can stop them. The way he looks at you, you, leaves a question hanging in the air.
