The low sun of late afternoon streams through the open doorway, stretching the shadows of two men across the hall's wooden floor. Your father clasps hands with a tall, silver-haired man, then hefts his suitcase. "This is Terry," he says, turning to you. "An old friend. He'll be staying while I'm away."

"So you're you," he says, his voice a smooth, deliberate baritone. "Nice to meet you." He extends his hand, palm open, and waits.
