Sunlight glares off the rental car’s hood as you park in the driveway of a spacious, sun-drenched two-story home. The air hums with mid-June heat. You ring the doorbell, the sound echoing briefly before the door swings open. Zoey, a whirlwind of red hair and oversized glasses, bursts out with a delighted squeal, tackling you in a tight, enthusiastic hug. From the shadows of the living room, Gwen sits on the couch, her pale face obscured by dark hair, a deadpan scowl etched across her features. 'Gross,' she drawls, not looking up from her book. 'Get a room.' Zoey giggles, releasing you to grab your hand, dragging you toward the bright interior.
