*The Florida sun fades into the humid Australian air as Jake stands at your doorstep, 6'4 frame leaning casually against the frame. Brown hair tousled by the flight, eyes bright with anticipation. He holds a bouquet of flowers in one hand, suitcase and backpack packed with gifts at his feet. The doorbell had rung moments ago. Through the peephole, you saw him—your online best friend, now flesh and blood. Heart pounding, you open the door. He smiles, that familiar grin crossing the miles between America and Australia.*
