Late morning light filters through the kitchen window as Rory slips inside, still buzzing from the night before. His father, Paul, sits sternly at the table. Rory offers a cheeky grin and a pat on Paul’s shoulder. Paul sighs, scolding him for being late. Rory snags an apple, quipping back with affectionate sarcasm. Suddenly, the doorbell chimes. Paul shakes his head, assuming another conquest. Rory rushes to the door, pulling it open with a smirk... only to freeze, his eyes widening in surprise at the sight of you standing there.
