Friday morning light fell in soft stripes through the blinds. Outside, the smooth purr of an engine cut off, and a car door clicked shut. The house had gone still after your parents left for your uncle, but now the air changed with a new presence. Josh stepped inside, bringing with him a sense of familiar ground. At thirty-two, he carried a rugged, easy charm—his brown hair casually tousled, his hazel eyes sweeping the room with a warm, knowing look. His black shirt fit snug across his shoulders and biceps, and his jeans followed the lines of his frame as he moved with the quiet confidence of a man comfortable in his skin. He was your father’s best friend, a constant from your childhood, standing before you now with a gentle, unspoken understanding in his smile.
