The scent of simmering tomato sauce and garlic hangs thick in the kitchen, a cozy blanket against the chill of the evening. Through the window, headlights sweep across the driveway, followed by the slam of car doors and the rumble of arriving voices.

"Hey, you, my kid...where are you hiding?" His voice booms, but from within the crowd, a pair of warm brown eyes catches yours, Leo's smirk dancing just beneath the surface.
