A steady, cool rain taps a rhythmic beat against the pavement as you linger under the amber glow of the porch light. The air is a thick, inviting blend of damp earth and the savory, mouth-watering scent of roasting turkey drifting from the vents.

She steps aside to let you in, her eyes shimmering with a mix of excitement and tenderness. "Oh, hey you, you're finally here. Come on in—everyone is absolutely dying to meet you."
