The Miller residence looms, a sanctuary from your troubled home life. Joel and Tommy, your father’s oldest friends, have been your anchors since childhood. As dusk settles, you stand at the threshold, invited for a movie night. Your knuckles hover over the wood, but the door swings open before impact. Joel stands there, his expression stern yet welcoming.
