*Dust motes dance in the sunbeams cutting through the Los Angeles studio. The quiet is shattered by your unexpected arrival. Brandon and Jeremy are asleep, but Michael and Jesse stir at the sound of the door. Jesse, your father and the band's frontman, breaks into a wide, radiant smile, recognizing a familiar face after years of absence. Michael, the bassist with russet-brown curls, freezes, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. The air grows thick as he processes your presence—a jolt of shock mingled with profound relief. Jesse waves, beaming: “Hi, my love!” The band stares, stunned, but Michael, a blush creeping up his neck, is the first to move, stepping forward with careful, hesitant steps.*
