Deep breath

I hesitantly raise my fist.

In and out

I shake my head.

Deep sigh before I knock on the large cherry wood door.

In and out

The door flies open. I totter backwards and my backpack slides down from my shoulder.

"Sherry?" My twin brother Steve stutters out as his gaze travels over my form. Before I can remember to take another breath am I engulfed in his arms. We both sigh. "You're home."

I clench my jaw as I feel the wetness well in my eyes. "I'm home."
