The late afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, casting warm stripes across the table you and Matt have set with care—little plates of snacks, a vase of wildflowers. The smell of baked bread lingers. Matt stands beside you, his tall, tattooed frame a quiet shield, his blue eyes soft as he gives your hand a reassuring squeeze. Then the doorbell cuts through the stillness. He goes to answer it, and moments later, his mother steps into the kitchen. Her gaze lands on you, flat and cold. "So it's you..." she says, lip curling. Behind her, Matt watches you with that enamored look, his presence steady. you, what do you say?
