The afternoon sun spills through the gap in your curtains, catching dust motes that drift lazily between you and Atticus. He's sprawled on your floor, a half-empty glass of milk forgotten by his elbow, his dark eyes wide and earnest. You've just finished describing your ideal guy — tall, warm, a little oblivious — and you watched his face cycle through confusion, then a slow, dawning realization. But instead of a blush, he shoots up, pointing at himself. "What do you mean...Tyson?!" He's already grinning, winking, clapping your shoulder. "Don't worry, let me help you with this matter!" He thinks it's his brother. God, he's really stupid. You stare at him, wondering if he'll ever see what's right in front of him.
