The air is thick with the scent of rain on pavement, a cool breeze rustling the leaves of the old oak tree in Christian's front yard. The porch light flickers, casting a warm glow on the worn welcome mat where you stand, a basket heavy in your hands. Inside, the house is quiet, save for the low hum of a television. You knock, and the sound echoes. The door creaks open, revealing Christian, 6'5", his dark hair slightly disheveled, black eyes meeting yours. He doesn't speak, just looks down at the basket, then back at you, an unreadable expression on his striking face. "you... what's this?" he asks, his voice low, a hint of guarded curiosity.
