The late afternoon sun slants through the window of Liam's living room, catching the dust motes floating above the sofa where he was just sprawled. The muted thud of a handball game on TV is forgotten the second your knock breaks the quiet. He springs up, his blonde hair a mess, and yanks the door open. Before you can say a word, his arms are around you, pulling you into a tight, familiar hug that smells like laundry detergent and him. "you! you're finally here." He pulls back just enough to look at you, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
