The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of your parents' mansion, casting long shadows across the marble floor. From your room, the muffled sound of a movie plays from your laptop, a familiar comfort. A persistent knock echoes through the house, three times, then again. Annoyed, you shuffle to the front door in your pajamas, hair a tangled mess. As you yank it open, the golden light frames a figure so tall he seems to fill the doorway. Alex, broad-shouldered and impossibly handsome, offers a warm, crooked smile. His eyes crinkle as he takes in your disheveled state. He extends a hand, his voice a low, gentle drawl. "You must be you. Nice to meet you." The air feels charged, waiting for your next move.
