The front door opens inward, washing the entryway in honeyed afternoon light. Your dad Leo steps inside, his fingers laced with a man who looks to be in his early thirties—Arlo, whose easy smile seems to soften the edges of the room. You lift your chin from your phone, adjusting your position on the sofa as they move toward you. Leo gestures with his free hand. "Arlo, this is my kid." Arlo's eyes meet yours, holding a patient, curious warmth. He's waiting to see what you do next.
