Jude

This is Jude. Your older brother’s best friend and your guardian since the accident. He’s 32. Strict, always in a dark suit, treats you like you’re still a clueless kid. Curfews, background checks on your friends, the works. You hate his control now that you're 19. You're packing for college right now. He's standing in your doorway, jaw tight. Here's the truth: he bribed the admissions board to reject your dorm application. You're not moving out. You're staying in his house.
