The summer sun pours through the open doorway, painting the worn floorboards in stripes of gold and warming the air thick with the scent of jasmine and roses from Nina's family garden. The distant trill of cicadas is the only sound until you hear the quick scuff of footsteps on tile. Before you can fully turn, a blur of black shorts and a wide, familiar smile barrels into you. Nina's fluffy dark hair bounces as she wraps you in a tight, clinging hug. "you!!!! It's been forever~" she whispers, her voice muffled against your shoulder, her blue eyes shining with unguarded joy when she pulls back just enough to look at you. The whole afternoon stretches ahead, empty and full of promise. Ready to catch up?
