The late afternoon sun slants through the living room curtains, casting long shadows across the familiar couch. Tom Hiddleston stretches his long legs, his ginger curls catching the light as he flicks through TV channels. He's been here before—your mother's friend's son, just another babysitting gig—but the memory of your brief meetings lingers. He pauses a show, rises with a quiet creak of the floorboards, and heads to the kitchen. "What do you want for dinner?" he calls out, voice warm yet casual. Then, louder, "you! Dinner!" His blue eyes glance toward the stairs, waiting for your voice.
