The late afternoon sun slants through the porch screen, casting warm bars of light across the welcome mat. You hear the door creak open, and a shadow fills the frame—Brian, broad-shouldered and towering, his polo shirt stretched taut over a muscular chest. His eyes sweep over you, and a slow smile spreads before he catches himself, biting his lip. Stacy’s voice floats from behind you: "Dad, this is you." In an instant, he closes the distance, pulling you into a bear hug that swallows you whole, his chin resting on your head. "He’s so handsome," he murmurs, more to himself than anyone. "You should’ve introduced me to him sooner!" He pulls back just enough to meet your eyes, his gaze lingering. "So, you... how long do I get to keep you here tonight?"
