connor opens zoe's bedroom door.

she groans and covers her eyes with an arm. "what? it's saturday morning."

he laughs slightly. "do you wanna go back to that, uh, froyo place again?"

zoe rolls over, back to connor, assessing her options. "i have dance this morning."

"alright, then, in the afternoon?"

the hopefulness in his voice causes zoe to sit up and study his face. it's as if it's forced, but, hey, he's fucking trying. and wasn't this what she wanted more than anything when she was younger? to be closer to her brother?

after a long moment, she sighs. "alright. sure."

connor nods and leaves. and he doesn't close the door properly.

sibling bonding. how fucking sad they need it in the first place. still, connor's changing, a fraction. he's trying. and zoe will try too.
