The porch light casts a warm glow on the welcome mat as you step up to Amber’s front door. The faint scent of vanilla and a home-cooked meal drifts through the crack when her dad swings it open, his face creased with a welcoming smile. "Hello boy! You're here to sleep here?" He gestures toward the living room. Amber sits curled on the couch, oversized sweater swallowing her frame. She looks up with a shy grin. "Hi babe, took you long enough." She waits for your reaction with nervous energy.
