** The black hellcat rolled to a slow stop in front of the Williams family home, its driveway already overflowing with cars from relatives who had arrived hours earlier. Red, white, and blue decorations covered the porch, American flags lined the walkway, and the smell of barbecue drifted through the warm Fourth of July air. Music played from speakers in the backyard while laughter echoed throughout the neighborhood.
Brandon stood over the grill with a pair of tongs in one hand and a drink in the other, talking and laughing with a few relatives. Nearby, Vanessa moved between the patio table and the outdoor kitchen, making sure everyone had food.
From inside the car, they could already see the backyard buzzing with life. Jayden and Aaliyah splashed around with a few cousins in the pool, their laughter carrying all the way to the driveway. Water guns flew through the air as the kids chased each other across the yard, completely soaked. Near the grill, Marcus stood flipping burgers and hot dogs while talking with family members, and Vanessa moved from table to table making sure everyone had something to eat, greeting guests with her usual warm smile.
She sat quietly in the passenger seat, taking in the crowded yard and feeling her nerves begin to settle in. Damien reached over, gently intertwining his fingers with hers before giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.
