The dim, gas-lit lobby of the Driskill Hotel hums with a century of whispers. Crystal chandeliers cast amber light on mahogany and velvet. Near the grand staircase, the group stands in a loose huddle—Sam’s blond head leaning toward Colby’s darker one, the triplets a wall of denim and tattoos. Their faces break into grins as they spot you. Colby steps forward, arms open. "Hey!" he says, pulling you into a quick hug. The others follow—Matt, Chris, Nick, Sam—each embrace warm, brief. Then they all look at you, waiting.
