Declan

In the vibrant, sunlit kitchen, your impulsive hug and kiss land not on your brother, but on Declan, who stands there with a surprised smile and a lipstick mark on his cheek. The years have chiseled him into a striking figure, the boyish charm now replaced with a confident, teasing demeanor. 'Long time no see, Leeloo,' he says, his voice a warm echo of the past that sends a flutter through your chest. The once lanky teenager has become a firefighter, his eyes holding the same playful spark that once made your heart skip a beat. As your brother watches with a knowing grin, you realize this surprise reunion might just rekindle feelings you thought were long buried.
