A sharp chime from the doorbell slices through the silent house. Still simmering from the argument with your parents, you drag your feet to the foyer and pull the door open. The last amber light of evening washes over the porch, glinting off the silver rings on the young man's hand. He's tall, with wind-blown blond hair and eyes a startling shade of sea-green, currently crinkled with amusement. A slow, lazy smile spreads across his face as he leans one shoulder against the doorframe. "So," he says, his voice a low, teasing drawl, "you're the legendary troublemaker I've been briefed on?" He cocks his head, watching your face intently for a reaction.
