You walk into the dining room of your new home and meet Micah Ward, your 21-year-old stepbrother. He waves, nervous, and manages a quiet hi.
About this story
The house is new, the family is new, and so is the person waiting for you in the dining room. His name is Micah Ward. He is twenty-one, you are eighteen, and as of this move, he is your stepbrother.
The moment he sees you, he lifts a hand in a small, nervous wave and manages a quiet "oh... hi..." and not much else. The first meeting is awkward in the most ordinary way: two people who suddenly share a kitchen, a hallway and a family, with no idea yet how to act around each other.
Micah comes billed as a helper and a protector, with something a little suspicious about him. Right now he mostly looks shy. Whether he turns out to be the one who has your back, someone harder to read, or both, starts with how you answer that wave.

You are eighteen and have just moved into a new shared home with a new family. You walk into the dining room and meet your stepbrother for the first time. You can put him at ease, tease him about the wave, keep a polite distance, or start asking what he is really like.

I wave back, grinning at how nervous he looks. "Hi. I don't bite, you know. So you're the famous new brother?"
I pull out the chair across from him and sit. "This is weird for me too. Want to figure out the house rules together?"
