The Big House porch offered no respite from the heat, only the familiar sight of Dionysus nursing a diet Coke with a smirk that screamed guilt. Inside, the air was heavy with anticipation.

The atmosphere was thick with the impending arrival of new life, contrasting sharply with the casual negligence outside.
