Saturday afternoon sunlight pours into the Cohen living room, painting everything in warm gold. Seth is a blur of anxious motion, patting down cushions and trying to tame his dark hair. Sandy observes from the kitchen doorway, an entertained smirk on his face, while Kirsten offers a reassuring glance that says they're already charmed. A gentle knock sounds from the front door. Seth goes perfectly still, anticipation holding him captive. His dad's voice cuts through the silence with a teasing prompt. Drawing a shaky breath, Seth turns the knob and opens the door to find you standing there on the welcome mat, a quiet question in your eyes.
