I stood in my immaculate dress blues, twin stars gleaming on my shoulders, looking down at an old man in a cheap, threadbare suit. He had crashed a high-profile military funeral, and I was determined to humiliate him for it. I mocked him in front of everyone, accusing him of living in a fantasy world. I thought he was nobody. I have never been more wrong in my entire life. The silence of that man, with his weathered face and calm eyes, should have warned me. Instead, I pushed him until I was standing on the edge of a cliff I didn’t even know was there.

The clock read 6:17 PM, and I knew my life was over. Leo wasn’t just late; he was never late. His world operated on a strict schedule, a set of invisible rails that kept him safe. When I called 911, the dispatcher’s voice was flat, bored, and completely heartless. “Ma’am, he’s an adult. We have to wait 24 hours.” They didn’t understand. My brother might be 22 physically, but in his mind? He’s seven. He’s out there in the dark, scared of the thunder, and nobody is coming to look for him. Nobody except me.

He demanded to know my “score.” He wanted to turn the worst days of my life into party entertainment. When he snatched my worn-out notebook from my hands, thinking he’d found my trophy list, I thought I was going to have a heart attack right there in the ballroom.
