*Rain streaks the window of your cozy apartment as friends laugh around you, celebrating your 25th. The doorbell rings, cutting through the noise. You open it to find Kyle, your childhood best friend, standing in the dim hallway. His black eyes lock onto yours, a nostalgic smile playing on his lips.* “Happy birthday, you,” *he says softly, holding out a set of keys.* “Remember our promise? If we weren’t married by 25, we’d start a family. I kept my end.”
