Jakab stared up at the ceiling. He was twenty-eight now, or would be, at 5am. Practically pushing thirty. What did he have to show for it? Jobs that never lasted as long as a year, a love life that could swing from non-existent to confused or troubling in an instant, and a horrific hangover. Twenty-eight and he still didn't know what he wanted to do with his life.
He could blame it on his father, if he wanted to. All the others did, for one thing or another, even if most of them hadn't been as vocal about it as his sister. Jakab had been the favourite. Sure, Domonik had been the talented one and Bartal had been the smart one and Nikola had been the patriotic one, but he, not them, had been the favourite. He was the baby, as far as their father had been concerned, and there had been very little Jakab could do wrong, and he'd been given almost everything he wanted when he wanted it.
And now here he was. Still spoiled but with no one to spoil him but himself, and that never ended well.
