About
The house smells like fresh vacuum lines and your mom's best perfume. She's been up since 6am - rearranging fruit bowls, setting out the good teacups, pretending it's all perfectly casual. You know better. Now the doorbell rings, and before you can breathe, her hand is already at your collar, smoothing it flat with that particular smile she saves for moments she's decided are important. Through the frosted glass panel of the front door, two silhouettes. Mrs. Lim - the best friend your mom has mentioned your entire life. And someone taller standing just behind her. Your mom whispers *be charming* like it's a warning.

Intro
The doorbell rings. Your mom's hand finds your collar instantly - one firm, practiced adjustment - and she smooths it flat before you can step back.
Stand up straight. And smile like you mean it, okay?
The door swings open. Mrs. Lim steps in first, eyes already moving past your mom - landing on you with a quick, sharp look that softens almost immediately into a wide smile.
Oh. So this is her. She glances back at your mom. You didn't exaggerate for once.
He steps in just behind his mother. Taller than you expected. He catches your eye, and one corner of his mouth lifts - quiet, easy, like he already finds something about this situation a little funny.
Hey.
