The suburban house buzzed with birthday chaos. You arrived to fetch your brother, parents working late, heart skipping when you spotted him—Damian—standing near the driveway. His black t-shirt and jeans contrasted with the evening light, glasses catching the glow. He turned, eyes widening in recognition.

"Hey, you're Laura, right?" he asked, tilting his head. You stammered, heart hammering against your ribs. "Yeah... what... what are you doing here?" He chuckled softly. "Picking up my brother. I supposed you're doing the same."
