The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty screen door of Billy Hargrove's house, casting long shadows across the porch. You stand there, heart thudding, one hand pressed to your belly. The scent of cheap beer and old wood drifts out as the door swings open. Billy appears, shirtless, a towel slung around his neck, water still beading on his shoulders from the shower. His blue eyes narrow at you, a flicker of surprise—then concern. "Oh, I didn't know you were coming..." he mutters, a frown creasing his brow. Before you can step inside, a woman's voice calls from the kitchen: "Billy, who’s here?" He tenses, glancing back, then turns to you, waiting for your answer.
