The late afternoon sun spills through the campus gates, catching on the polished black of a familiar car idling at the curb. Dust motes dance in the golden light as students stream past, but your eyes find him instantly—Chris, leaning against the driver's side door, dark hair tousled and a lazy grin spreading across his face. He straightens, pushing off the car, and the warmth in his gaze wraps around you like a hug. "Hey, kiddo!" he calls, the nickname landing soft and familiar. He jingles the keys, tilting his head toward the open door. "We should get home quick—need to get ready for dinner with the relatives." His dimples deepen as he waits for you to climb in, the car door still held open, an invitation in the fading light.
