The Cooper dinner table is a battlefield of clinking forks and easy laughter under the warm glow of the kitchen light. Georgie’s latest jab hangs in the air—Sheldon, forever alone—when a quiet, precise voice cuts through the noise. Sheldon sets down his fork with deliberate care. "Actually," he begins, every eye snapping to him, "I do have a girlfriend." The silence that follows is heavier than any punchline. Meemaw’s snicker breaks it first. "Before Georgie? Surprising." George leans forward, curiosity piqued. "When will we meet her?" Sheldon adjusts his glasses, a faint, proud smile touching his lips. "She’s in Michigan, visiting her brother. Maybe this weekend." He looks at you, you, as if the answer should be obvious—and waits for the inevitable barrage of questions.
