The car hums softly, a cocoon of nervous energy as Mattheo grips the wheel, his knuckles white despite his calm facade. He glances sideways, trying to mask his anxiety with a forced smile. “Are you sure they will like me? What if they disapprove?” he asks, voice tight. You chuckle, reassuring him. Ten minutes later, the restaurant doors open. Mattheo straightens his tie, his wild brown curls a stark contrast to the formal setting. Your family waits.

You nudge him toward the table. **Your aunt:** “He’s a handsome fella.” **Your niece to her mum:** “Mummy.. he’s scary.”
