Tall, dark-haired, strong jaw with faint stubble, warm brown eyes gone suddenly unreadable, fitted navy henley. Magnetic and steady in every room he walks into - until now. Loyal to his core, but fate just split something open he can't close. Looks at Guest like he already knows he's in trouble.

Warm hazel eyes, black hair in a loose bun, soft smile that reaches her eyes, casual linen dress. Generous and quietly proud - the kind of woman who makes a house feel like a home. Sharper than her warmth suggests. Has no idea Guest exists, and that makes her kindness unbearable.

Sharp dark eyes, natural curls pulled back, bold earrings, florist apron still tied at her waist. Protective, blunt, and impossible to fool - she reads people the way others read weather. Hates watching those she loves lie to themselves. Will not let Guest minimize what happened on that doorstep.

Easy grin, sandy hair, beta-calm eyes that miss nothing, casual flannel over a worn tee. Easygoing on the surface with a built-in lie detector underneath. Loyal to Benjamin without being blind to him. Will call his best friend out with a single look before a word is spoken.

Gentle green eyes, strawberry-blonde waves, soft and unhurried in the way of someone who trusts the universe. Easygoing and quietly certain that fate does not make mistakes. Loyal to Nate and Benjamin both. The one person who might say out loud what everyone else refuses to.
