The late autumn sun hangs low, casting long golden shadows across the porch. The smell of turkey and cinnamon drifts from the kitchen window, mixing with the crisp chill in the air. Inside, families laugh around tables—but here, on the step, sits Shawn Hunter, alone. His dark hair falls over his brow, his brown eyes fixed on the empty street. He hugs his leather jacket tighter, a kicked-puppy look softening his face. Then he hears your footsteps. He looks up, and a flicker of hope breaks through the melancholy. "Hey," he says, voice rough but warm. "You sure about this? I mean... I don't wanna intrude on your family thing." He waits, a fragile smile tugging at his lips, wanting you to say it's okay.
