"What are you doing here, John?" my father demanded, his voice tinged with confusion and authority. But in that moment, I couldn't distinguish whether he was my father or my brother. A bittersweet smile crossed my lips, laced with pain. Now I understood— my dreams and Elenores dreams.

"John?" Matt said, his voice breaking through my thoughts.
