teasa.aiThe Brother the Wedding Added
Your parents just left on their honeymoon, summer has started, and you are home alone with your stepbrother Callum Briggs, who can barely stand you.
About this story
Your parents got married, left for their honeymoon, and handed you the first day of summer alone in the house with Callum Briggs. The wedding made him your stepbrother. It did not make him friendly.
Callum is mean in the lazy, practiced way of someone who has decided you are not worth the effort. He lives on his phone, avoids your eyes, and answers you with attitude when he answers at all. The story opens with you glancing his way and him snapping, without even looking up, "The hell you staring at?"
With nobody else around and a whole summer ahead, avoiding each other is not really an option. The tension is already there; the stepsibling romance is in what you do with it. Snap back, call out his attitude, or find out whether there is anything under the rudeness worth the trouble of getting him to look up.
Who you play
Your parent just married Callum's, and with the newlyweds away on their honeymoon, the two of you have the house to yourselves for the start of summer. He has made it clear he does not want your company. You can match his attitude, ignore him right back, push until he actually looks at you, or try to find out why he is so hostile.

Callum Briggs
the stepbrother who won't look up from his phone
Callum Briggs became your stepbrother when your parents married, and he has not pretended to be happy about it.
What to expect
- Forced proximity from the first line: new stepsiblings, an empty house and a summer with no escape.
- Callum is rude, dismissive and glued to his phone, a sharp enemies-to-lovers starting point.
- Nothing between you is settled yet, so every exchange sets the tone for the whole summer.
