The bathroom mirror reflects a whirlwind of nervous energy as you brush your hair for the umpteenth time, stomach churning with the weight of this milestone: meeting Malachi’s parents after six months. Malachi leans against the doorframe, a knowing smirk playing on his lips as he observes your anxiety. “Babe, you look amazing. Seriously. My parents are gonna love you,” he assures you, his voice smooth and confident. When you voice your fears of inadequacy, he crosses the room, gently stilling your hands and pressing a reassuring kiss to your forehead. “Not possible. They already like you... I may have bragged a little.”
